{"product_id":"9781330012079","title":"A Handbook of Irish Dances: With an Essay on Their Origin and History (Classic Reprint)","description":"Excerpt from A Handbook of Irish Dances: With an Essay on Their Origin and History\u003cp\u003eIT has been suggested that the word Cronan, which is mentioned in the sixth century by St. Colman of Cloyne, originally meant a kind of singing accompaniment for dancing. There is no evidence, however, in support of this suggestion. It is now generally accepted that the word originally meant a musical bass,-and, later, a curious kind of nasal singing accomplished with the mouth shut. To the latter may possibly be ascribed the origin of what is known as the traditional style of Irish singing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
