4 Hunt, Una, My Gentle Harp: Thomas Moore’s Irish Melodies the Complete Collection (Dublin: Claddagh Records, 2008)Google Scholar , available at: https://unahunt.com/merch/moores-irish-melodies-my-gentle-harp-the-complete-archive-6xcds. In this, Hunt records Henry Bishop’s original settings of numbers 8, 9 and 10; she also records John Stevenson’s original setting of number 8 (number 8 was produced with two distinct artistic collaborations due to the unravelling relationship of fraternal publishers William and James Power). Yet for numbers 1 through 7, she prefers the later arrangements of Moore’s lyrics (published by J.A. Novello of London in 1859) by Michael William Balfe to those by Stevenson.
5 Edward Bunting’s published collections include A General Collection of the Ancient Irish Music (Dublin and London: William Power and James Power, 1796); A General Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland (London: Clementi & Co., for the Editor, 1809); and The Ancient Music of Ireland (Dublin: Hodges and Smith, 1840).

8 The aisling is a type of Irish poem that recounts a particular kind of vision. As Maria Tymoczko explains, ‘the poet has a vision or dream of a beautiful woman who comes to appeal or lament to him. The woman in the aisling represents Ireland, and her misery is associated with Ireland’s political bondage; she is often portrayed as languishing for her rightful spouse – associated at this period with the exiled Stuart line.’ See Tymoczko, Maria, The Irish Ulysses (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994), 101Google Scholar .
