The Irish National Anthem was composed in 1907 by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney and adopted by the Irish Free State in 1926. The song has a rich history as a military marching song and played a role in events such as the Easter Rising and the Irish War of Independence. The anthem is arranged here for either solo Piano or Voice with Piano accompaniment with easy Guitar chords. The lyrics are given in both English and Gaelic.

National anthems are an integral part of official receptions and play an important role at major events such as the Olympic Games or World Championships. Most anthems date from the 18-20th centuries and are often an essential part of the political and cultural development of a country, e.g. on its way to independence or democracy.

At the same time, the anthem conveys a sense of community and is a means to express identification with one's home country. / [Hymnes Nationaux] / Musiques du monde / Partition / Broché /
