EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting music sheet cover for the Erin Go Bragh Quadrille, composed by Charles d'Albert in the mid-1850s, showcases a breathtaking view of Dublin's Custom House Quay at sunset. The title "Erin Go Bragh," an anglicisation of a Gaelic phrase meaning "Ireland Forever," symbolizes deep allegiance and devotion to the Emerald Isle. The melody for this quadrille was derived from a popular Irish melody penned by Thomas Moore. The image on the cover captures the essence of Dublin's bustling harbor, with its impressive Custom House dome silhouetted against the fiery orange and pink hues of the setting sun. Ships with tall masts and rigging are docked at the quay, their sails rolled up, as cargo is being unloaded from barrels and transported to warehouses via carts and baskets. The Victorian architecture of the buildings along the quay adds to the charm of the scene, while the boats and ships in the harbor reflect the rich maritime history of Ireland. The Erin Go Bragh Quadrille was a popular dance piece during the Victorian era, and its lively melody would have been enjoyed by dancers at social gatherings. The image on the cover transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history of Ireland during the era of mass emigration and the import and export of goods. This music sheet cover is a beautiful testament to the enduring love for Ireland and its rich cultural heritage.
