Came across this and thought it might be an interesting resource for music teachers. RTE The Fields of Athenry, Grace and Whiskey in The Jar are among the six Irish songs chosen for the first ever EU Songbook, which has now been made available as an app. Ag Críost an Síol, I'll Tell Me Ma and Song For Ireland are also included among 164 titles from across the European Union and compiled following a public vote. www.rte.ie/entertainment/2024/1105/1479082-six-irish-songs-revealed-for-first-eu-songbook/The EU songbook site www.eu-songbook.org/mission-statement/The EU songbook will be organized via six pan-european song categories and not per member states: These are “love”, “nature & seasons”, “freedom & peace”, “folksongs & traditionals”, “faith & spirituality” and “children’s songs”.

I love this! Folks songs are the foundation of a good elementary music program IMO, and singing ones from other cultures is a great, kid-appropriate way to experience something of other cultures.
TFS.
