"The original music of the island is called ,,traditional music”. This traditional music saved her face despite the influence of music of 21. and 22. century. Thanks to the emigration of Irish, the traditional music was expanded all around the world. It influenced for example country music in USA.
Traditional Irish music includes many kinds of songs like drinking songs, ballads and laments. It could be unaccompanied or with accompaniment by a variety of instruments. Traditional musical instruments in 19. century was flute, fiddle and the pipes. Traditional Irish dance includes reels, which is four-four time, then jigs, which is six-eight time, and Hornpipe(1:10), which is traditional nautical dance. The polka arrived at the start of the 19. century and it was spread by dancing masters and soldiers returning from Europe. Then there was the mazurka and the highlands, which is sort of Irished version of the Scottish strathspey.
Irish stepdance was performed at Céilidh (keili), which is organised competition, and at some country houses. Irish dancing was supported by the educational system and patriotic organisations. An older style of singing called sean-nós, which means in the old style, is a form of traditional Irish singing. It’s can be still found, mainly for very poetic songs in the Irish language."
