What is recorded here
Henry George Farmer is a birthplace in Birr, County Offaly, Ireland. Perhaps a boy born there in 1882 listened for music inside silence before he ever touched an instrument. Maybe the fields around Birr taught him that sound comes and goes like weather. Imagine him carrying that lesson into Arabic study and musical history until his death in 1965.
Why this person is known: British musicologist and Arabist (1882–1965)
