HARP ALWAYS THE PRIDE
OF THE EMERALD ISLE

But though boasting OF such n re-
mote past, the Irish harp is simply
an adaptation Of an instrument com.
mon to central and northern Europe.
We find it in the hands Of the Ger
man and Celtic bards, and of tho
Scandinavian skalds; and every race
has been able to inpress upon 1t
something of its own peculiar genius.
The violin is Italian in its birth. and
it is said to be animated by an Italian
soul. And in like manner, suca OF
the old Irish music as has come
down to us essentially consists OF
strains of the harp. This. however Is
not surprising. for We are told that
long before the Tyre was known in
Rome or Greece the Gael Of Ireland
had attained high degree of perfec-
tion in the form and management Of
the harp. Not to be capable of sweep
ing it in mastery manner was
deemed n disgrace even to royalty"
This, however, was not solely an Irish
Keeling, but that of almost every peo-
pie among whom the harp flourished.
In medieval times it was regarded as
the king of musical instruments,
chiefly because no other provided
such an effective accompaniment for
the voice. The national feeling arous-
ed by it was nowhere expressed more
strongly than in Ireland, and the
cloud of legends, traditions and an
cient superstitions which in that
country seem essentially to cling to
it are its peculiar but very natural
heritage. The harp is the especial
pride of the green isle.

Long before history had trodden
pathway across the insecure ground
of legend and tradition the Irish harp
was alike the reflex and interpreter
Of popular feeling. Perhaps it may
be said to have come popularity into
the general view when James |.
placed 1t in the third quarter of the
royal arms Of Great Britain. But
century before this Henry VIII. had
impressed harp on the Irish coin
age; seemingly prosaic fact which
yet cannot be divorced from the
strong clement of romance which per-
meates every phase Of the subject.
For 1t seems that son of King Brian
Boru presented his fathers harp to
Pope John XVIII. in 1908; and that
1t was treasured in Rome until Leo Y.
sent 1t to Henry VIII. 500 years after
ward. He in turn gave it to the first
Earl Of Clanricarde; and after pass
ing into the possession of several
Irish families Brian's storied harp
eventually found home in the col
leGe museum in Dublin. But suppos-
ing this venerable instrument to be
at least 1000 years old, that is mere
trifle in the history of the harp-and
especially of the Irish harp.
We may accept the Thebian harp
as a pretty ancient representative of
its great family; but then the older
Irish historians go back to the delugc
and it is only in the very mistland of
antiquity that we lose touch with
their national symbol. And even
there we seem to catch the echo Of
its strains.
