Leitrim, is one of the most important private music collections in the country. Fr Quinn began collecting in the 1950s at the same time as he began a lengthy career of teaching music and organising bands. Much of his collection relates to the fiddle tradition in Longford and south Leitrim.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Through his work, Fr Quinn has identified a tradition going back about 200 years, beginning with Thomas \u2018Blind\u2019 Kiernan\/Kernan (c.1807-1887), a Longford fiddle master. The collection includes a music manuscript used by Kiernan and his student Michael Leonard in the 1840s. This can be regarded as a foundational document not only in the collection, but also in the fiddle tradition in the region. One of Fr Quinn\u2019s former students, Dr Conor Ward, completed a PhD at Dundalk Institute of Technology, based largely on the collection. Part of Dr Ward\u2019s work involved tracing the teaching of certain tunes by Kiernan\u2019s pupils and then through a lineage of others, down to the present day. It also led to the discovery of some manuscripts that are privately-owned and connected with the lineage of fiddlers. A highly experienced musician and researcher has now been appointed to work on the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This will be a multi-annual project up to a maximum of five years. It will focus on the tunes that are part of the Longford-Leitrim tradition.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":33932,"template":"","class_list":["post-33931","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The cataloguing and digitisation of the Fr John Quinn Music Collection, and related manuscripts. - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The collection of Fr John Quinn PP, Gortletteragh, Co.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-cataloguing-and-digitisation-of-the-fr-john-quinn-music-collection-and-related-manuscripts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The cataloguing and digitisation of the Fr John Quinn Music Collection, and related manuscripts. - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The collection of Fr John Quinn PP, Gortletteragh, Co.
