Since its foundation in 1875, the activities of St Patrick's College
Drumcondra and its graduates have been closely woven into the educational and
cultural fabric of Irish society. This volume charts how music and music
education have fulfilled a major role throughout the history of the
Dublin-based establishment that began as a teacher training college and later
evolved into a college of education and liberal arts. Graduates of St
Patrick's College have taught hundreds of thousands, if not millions of
pupils across the country, have made significant contributions to various
facets of professional and amateur music activity, and have had an invaluable
influence on the wellbeing of individuals, the development of communities and
the advancement of the nation as a whole.
The book records and interprets key musical developments, appraises the work
of major contributors, and captures the activities of students, staff and
visiting musicians at St Patrick's College up to its incorporation into
Dublin City University in 2016. It represents a major scholarly work that
details the progress of music at a university college in Ireland, and it is
envisaged that its varied chapters and themes will evoke further memories and
discussions among graduates of the College and others.
