about

W.B. Yeats Project: There may be some debate about the music herein. However W. B Yeats has been my Bible, so I had better offer and explanation of how the thing has come to pass. With ³Coole Park and Ballylee² my first Yeatsian effort I joined the Delphic player in Queens University in 1986, after I noted that the extra mural department was offering experience in stage production and emphasis on W.B. Yeats. Under the guidance of Dr. Louis A. Muinzer; I wrote and performed music for ³The Cat and the Moon² which we presented in the solitary splendor of Thoor Ballylee.

Marie O¹Neill¹s An Appointment with W.B. Yeats (Blue Stack Records 1988) contains settings of:
* A Cradle Song
* To A Young Beauty
* Coole Park and Ballylee
* The Fiddler of Dooney
* An Irish Airman Foresees His Death
* The Rose of Peace
* I Am of Ireland
* An Appointment
* Red Hanrahan¹s Song About Ireland
* Brown Penny
* After Long Silence
* Those Dancing Days Are Gone
* The Ballad of Moll Magee
* Girl's Song
* Young Man¹s Song
* Before the World Was Made

As I made no plans to start, now I make no plans to stop. When a journalist asked me why I chose to set poetry of W.B. Yeats to music, I replied, for want of a better reason: ³ It was his turn.² So if I offend in particular, this is by the way of a blanket apology. My thanks to Anne and Michael B. Yeats for their co-operation and best wishes, to A.O. Watt Ltd., for their permission to use copyright works and thanks to all who have had to tolerate enthusiastic verbiage on the subject this past year.
An appointment with W.B. Yeats by Marie O¹Neill was judged runner up folk album of 1989 by Ireland Radio Awards, Downtown, BBC and RTE. Davy Spilane won the folk section.
