The Island People.

Heaney (Seamus)

The Island People.

An Irish sequence of music and poetry. Music by Gerard Victory [Music Workshop Stage 1, BBC Radio for Schools.]

Description: FIRST EDITION, second issue, printed in black, blue and brown, with musical notation throughout and illustrations by Doreen Roberts, pp. 32, 4to, original stapled self wrappers with overall illustration by Doreen Roberts, merest hint of rusting to staples externally, near fine

Publication Details: British Broadcasting Corporation, [Summer 1969]

Notes: Originally published in Summer of 1968, and then reissued the following year with the cover date amended (as here) - either version is scarce, with the V&A only in COPAC, the NLI and five more in the US. With the exception of 'Inisheer' and 'The dealing man', all of Heaney's text has been set to music. Three of the twelve short poems were included in a subsequent educational work on the Aran Islands, but the remainder receive their only appearance here.
