Offaly. The collection consists of 23,000 printed volumes, unbound papers and Irish and Scottish song music, collected by Jaspar Robert Joly (1819-1892) of Brackagh, Clonbullogue, King\u2019s County (Offaly) and held at the National Library of Ireland (NLI). Aoise will spend research days at the National Library to gain an overview of the sheet music collection and to create a database of musical works that could be selected and developed for performance activities in 2027. She will work in partnership with Clonbullogue Development Association to understand more about the community\u2019s connection with the Joly family and survey local awareness about the collection. She will also use this period of research to consider how she would develop an innovative and engaging musical response to the collection materials, which could include the commissioning of new arrangements of selected works, composition of new material inspired by the Joly collection, performance of song material in original and new settings, and outreach and education activities in local schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">A research presentation will take place during Heritage Week in August \u2013 further details to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":41162,"template":"","class_list":["post-41161","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>Music from Clonbullogue: Joly Collection - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"During this research project musician Aoise O\u2019Dwyer will explore the sheet music included in the Joly Collection as an aspect of the cultural and material heritage of 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\/music-from-clonbullogue-joly-collection\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Music from Clonbullogue: Joly Collection - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"During this research project musician Aoise O\u2019Dwyer will explore the sheet music included in the Joly Collection as an aspect of the cultural and material heritage of Co.
