Boydell Press The Choral Foundation of the Chapel Royal, Dublin Castle: Constitution, Liturgy, Music, 1814-1922: 14 (Irish Musical Studies)

The Chapel Royal, Dublin Castle, was the place of worship of the British monarch's representative in Ireland from 1814 until the inception of the Irish Free State in 1922. This book investigates the Chapel's constitution, liturgy and music through an examination of previously unexplored primary material. The choral foundation is brought to life with accounts of the Chapel's clergy, organists, boy choristers and gentleman singers, and offers a new perspective on a forgotten corner of Irish cultural, religious and political history.
