Abstract
On the eve of St Patrick’s Day 2014, the RISM Central Office in Frankfurt, in cooperation with RISM Ireland and the Research Foundation for Music in Ireland, presented a concert that featured a performance of the first symphony composed in Ireland, the Grand Symphony by Paul Alday (ca. 1763–1835), and other Irish works that are rarely found on concert programs. Rediscovered in 2012 by members of RISM Ireland, Alday’s symphony received its first modern performance in Dublin the following year and was given what was likely its first performance outside of Ireland in 2014. This article will talk about RISM bringing together institutions, musicologists, and performers for the concert in Frankfurt.
