In lifelong seclusion in rural County Wicklow, Ina Boyle created a legacy of song – tender, often melancholy, illuminated by an exquisite sense for harmony. ‘I think it is most courageous of you to go on with such little recognition,’ wrote Vaughan Williams to his pupil. ‘The only thing to say is that it does come finally.’
Amid the 2020 pandemic, Iain Burnside gathered three superb Irish singers at London’s Wigmore Hall. Recorded in less than five hours, the resulting 80 minutes of music unveil a composer who is one of Ireland’s ‘invisible heroines’.
Half a century after Boyle’s death, is Vaughan Williams’s prediction at last coming true?
Boyle, born near Enniskerry in County Wicklow in 1889, studied under Vaughan Williams and composed a range of choral, chamber and orchestral music, plus songs, ballet scores and an opera. She received an honourable mention for her work at the 1948 London Olympics, when the competition still had a music award. A documentary on her work was broadcast on RTÉ Lyric FM in 2010 (listen below) and her music featured at the Composing the Island festival in 2018. The same year an album of her orchestral music was released on the Dutton label and a biography by Ita Beausang and Séamas de Barra was published by Cork University Press. Boyle died in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, in 1967.
The songs that will be included in the recording for Delphian date from 1905 to 1966 and include settings of texts by Eva Gore-Booth, George ‘AE’ Russell, Austin Clarke, Walt Whitman, Walter de la Mare, and Pádraig Pearse.
