Dán Díreach (Straight/Direct/Righteous Verse) is a style of poetry developed in Ireland from the 12th century until the destruction of Gaelic society in the mid 17th century. It was a complex form of recitative designed to be chanted to the accompaniment of a harp. This poetry was often delivered by a professional reciter called a ''reacaire'' (reciter) or ''marcach duaine'' (poem rider). It was the specialised production of the professional poets known as Filidh (Seer). Many hundreds of poems are still extant as they were collected into poem books called ''Duanaire'' by wealthy patrons. Traditional payment in gold rings, horses, land or apparel. ==Performance== An eyewitness account "The Action and Pronunciation of the Poems, in the Presence of the Maecenas (Chief), or the principal Person it related to, was perform'd with a great deal of Ceremony, in a Consort of Vocal and Instrumental Musick. The poet himself said nothing, but directed and took care that every body else did his Part right. The Bards having first had the Composition from him, got it well by Heart, and now pronounc'd it orderly, keeping even Pace with a Harp, touch'd upon that Occasion; no other musical Instrument being allow'd of for the said Purpose than this alone, as being Masculin, much sweeter, and fuller than any other." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dán Díreach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
