Belfast-born Herbert Hughes set about collecting and distributing Irish airs. From there he began arranging the melodies for voice and piano, but at a lecture in Dublin pointed out the relationship between the original song, as sung by 'the peasant, giving voice to an ancient tradition' and the same song as put into print with a piano accompaniment.
