Encyclopedia
David Flynn is an Irish
composer and musician with a number of major awards and commissions to his name. His recent music is noteworthy for merging the influence of traditional Irish music with contemporary classical music
and jazz
. He is also an accomplished multi-instrumentalist who works across many genres including classical, jazz, rock and traditional Irish music. He performs regularly on guitar, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki and vocals.
. His early musical experiences included brief periods studying piano and tin whistle, but it was not until his early teens that Flynn really took to music, teaching himself how to play rock guitar.
He developed an interest in classical guitar in his mid-teens and taught himself how to read music notation, he also learnt classical guitar by ear from recordings. He composed his first piece for classical guitar aged 16.
Upon leaving school in 1995 he studied rock music at Ballyfermot
Senior College, Dublin. Around this time Flynn started composing songs and became a regular performer on the Dublin singer-songwriter scene which spawned some of Ireland's current crop of successful songwriters such as Damien Rice
and Damien Dempsey
. He was also lead guitarist of the rock band Maize. He later developed a strong interest in traditional Irish music which he learnt through recordings and workshops at various Irish music festivals.
(D.I.T.) College of Music, initially studying classical guitar on a part-time basis with Dr. John Feeley
. In 1999 he enrolled in the full-time music degree course at the College of Music, continuing his guitar studies with Feeley while majoring in composition.
Now fully committed to composing, Flynn won the IMRO Composition Award in 2002 at the Feis Ceoil
in Dublin for his String Orchestra Piece "Mesh".
While in the D.I.T. he co-founded the Dublin Guitar Quartet
with fellow students. He graduated from the D.I.T. in 2003 at which time he left the Dublin Guitar Quartet in order to move to London where he became the first person from the Republic of Ireland to be accepted onto the Masters Degree in Composition course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama
, London, UK. He was awarded bursaries from the Arts Council of Ireland
, Guildhall Trust and Michael Collins Memorial Foundation in order to fund these studies. At Guildhall he studied composition with Malcolm Singer and electro-acoustic music with Dr. Nye Parry and he formed his own ensemble, the David Flynn Collective. He graduated from the Guildhall in 2004.
He returned to the D.I.T. in 2006 where he undertook a research PhD entitled 'Traditional Irish Music: A Path to New Music'. He completed his PhD in 2010.
, which led to Flynn being awarded the 2004 Young Composers Award at the Festival. His prize was a commission to elaborate ‘Slip’ into his String Quartet No.2 "The Cranning" for the 2005 festival where it was premiered by the Smith Quartet
to the acclaim of critics including Neil Fisher of The Times who praised Flynn for ‘incorporating traditional Irish music without Hollywood pastiche’.
Michael Dervan of The Irish Times was similarly impressed —
‘Flynn is attempting to bring the influence of traditional Irish music into the hallowed realms of the classical string quartet and moments in the Smith Quartet's performance of this minimalist influenced work gelled to perfection.'
Earlier in 2004 Flynn had instigated the foundation of the Young Composers Collective (YCC) in Ireland. Flynn announced the YCC with an article in the Journal of Music in Ireland (JMI) in which he criticised established bodies for failing to support young composers. The article caused considerable controversy and debate but ultimately led to the YCC providing a platform for a large number of previously unknown young composers to have their music performed. The YCC has since evolved into the Irish Composers' Collective. Flynn is no longer a member according to the ICC website.
Flynn caused further controversy in the JMI in 2005 when his article ‘Looking for the Irish Bartók’ questioned the failure of established Irish classical composers to engage with traditional Irish music and musicians. Despite some harsh criticism of Flynn's ideas from some of the established Irish composers his article resonated with traditional Irish musicians who had in the past largely been ignored or denigrated by the Irish classical music establishment.
This article directly led to Flynn's contact with the renowned traditional Irish fiddler Martin Hayes
and his musical partner, guitarist Dennis Cahill. In 2006, the Masters of Tradition Festival in Cork commissioned Flynn to compose a piece for Hayes and Cahill to perform with the classical violinist Ioana Petcu-Colan
. The resulting piece Music for the Departed was premiered at the Masters of Tradition Festival in August 2006 and received its US Premiere in 2010 at the Irish American Arts Center in New York. It was described as 'A magnificent new work for fiddle, violin and guitar' by the Irish Examiner USA
Flynn has since worked with Martin Hayes
on a number of other projects. In 2010 Hayes premiered 'Aontacht' a concerto for Irish fiddle and orchestra with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra
in Ireland's National Concert Hall. The concert also featured a new arrangement of 'Music for the Departed' with a string orchestra added to the fiddle, violin and guitar trio of the original.
Flynn, Hayes and Cahill will collaborate once again when they tour with the Irish Chamber Orchestra
in September 2011.
Flynn continues to work with traditional Irish musicians in the creation of new concert works. Recent such works include 'The Forest of Ornaments' for flautist Harry Bradley, 'Five Études for Uilleann Pipes' for uilleann piper Mick O'Brien
and 'The Valley of the Lunatics' for fiddle player Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh
. These works and others were programmed to be premiered at the 2011 Masters of Tradition Festival in Cork at a concert devoted entirely to Flynn's music.
Outside of his recent collaborations with traditional musicians, Flynn's music continues to be performed by major international classical musicians and ensembles around the world including the New Juilliard Ensemble, ConTempo Quartet, guitarist John Feeley
and saxophonist Gerard McChrystal.
He has also had a major radio special dedicated to his music on WNYC
New York's New Sounds show hosted by John Schaefer.
His primary publisher is his own company Frisbee Publications, however 'Four Études for Five Fingers' have been published by Mel Bay and 'Toccata for Obama' is published by Reed Music.
Flynn continues to build a parallel career as concert music composer and multi-genre performer. His debut recording ‘Draíocht
’, a mix of traditional Irish music and new compositions and songs based on the tradition, was released late in 2006. Most of the songs on the album were co-written with the poet/lyricist Pádraic Ó'Beírn. Also featured on the album are some of his regular musical partners including fiddler Liz Coleman, percussionist Aidan Dunphy, bassist Brian O'Toole and guitarist Ciarán Swift. The album was co-produced by Flynn with engineers Manus Lunny
and Paul Thomas. Writing in Irish Music Magazine, critic John O'Regan says, "Draíocht is one of the most surprising debuts to hit my ears in ages.....An interesting and intriguing collection from a tunesmith, instrumentalist and composer, Dave Flynn is a name to conjure with and Draíocht is very definitely worth an open-minded listen."
Flynn's second album 'Contemporary Traditional Irish Guitar' was released in 2009 on Frisbee Records. The album contains completely solo guitar versions of music by some of the best traditional Irish music composers of the 20th Century, most particularly Paddy Fahey, 20 Fahey compositions feature on the album. There is also music by Ed Reavy
, Liz Carroll
. Charlie Lennon, Larry Redican and Tommy Peoples
. One of Flynn's own compositions 'The Mahatma of the Glen', a tribute to the late fiddle player James Byrne
, also features. This is a reworking of three of the sections of his earlier piece 'Music for the Departed'. The album has received considerable critical acclaim.
