This volume presents the scores for Beethoven's “12 Irish Songs, WoO 154”. Composed between 1812–13, these English-language folk songs were written for one or two voices to be accompanied by piano, cello, and violin. The songs include: “ho, my dear Dermot”, “Put round the bright wine”, “From Garyone, my happy home”, “Save me from the grave and wise”, “Oh! would I were but that sweet linnet (duet)”, “The hero may perish (duet)”, “The Soldier in a Foreign Land (duet)”, and “He promised me at parting (duet)”. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) was a seminal German composer. He had a significant influence on the transition from the Classical to the Romantic era of music, and to this day he is considered to be one the most celebrated and important composers of all time.
