A Celebration of Traditional Music of Ireland &
Elsewhere in Print An exhibit of material from the collection of Lewis Becker,
Professor of Law,
Villanova
University School of Law |
|
March 13, 2006 – April 28, 2006
Falvey Memorial Library
Villanova University
This exhibition aims to illustrate high points in the history of the collection
and transmission of popula r and traditional songs and music. Consistent with
Villanova University’s long-standing connections with Ireland, the primary
emphasis is on songs and music of Irish content, but analogous developments in
the collection and distribution of music in England, Scotland, and the United
States are also treated. The material in this exhibition is drawn almost
exclusively from the
collection of Lewis Becker, Professor of Law at Villanova
University, but has been supplemented on occasion by material from Falvey
Memorial Library’s Special Collections.
For additional information, call 610-519-4291.
