Many of Tom Moore's world famous
'tIrish melodies were ancient Celtic
tunes that had been transmitted by ear
for generations among the Irish peasant
ry. These tunes were written and re-
vised, presumably for the first time, by
Sir John Stevenson. Moore's ready pen
supplied the words.
The most prominent musicians in the
United Kingdom are interested in the
Feis. DR.. Charles Villiers Stanford,
professor of music at Cambridge uni
versity, an Irishman and great COM
poser, is at the head of the revival, and
the secretary of the Feis is DR.. Annie
W. Patterson, who is said to be the only
woman in the United Kingdom, the
Princess of Wales excepted, who is a
doctor Of music. She received her de-
gree from the Royal Irish Academy Of
Music for an original cantata, ''Fe-
nola.' Miss Patterson is a native Of
County Armagh, Ireland, and is young
and handsome woman of brilliant at
tainments. She is conversant with half a
dozen languages, is an encyclopedia of
music lore, and has composed numerous
cantatas of rare merit.
