Edmund Keating Hyland (Шаблон:Lang-ga; 1780 – 1845) was an Irish uilleann piper of the early 19th century.[1][2]

Biography

Keating Hyland was born in Cahir around 1780. At 15, he was blinded by smallpox. At 20, he studied music theory under John Andrew Stevenson in Dublin.[3]

He composed the famous jig entitled "The Fox Chase" (based on an earlier eight-bar work, Maidrin Ruadh),[4] and performed it before King George IV in 1821.[5][6][7] The king awarded him new pipes worth fifty guineas.[8]

He died in Dublin in 1845, aged 65.[9]

Commemoration

A statue in bronze of Keating Hyland stands in Cahir's main square, sculpted by Mona Croome Carroll and paid for by Lady Margaret Butler-Charteris.[10][11]
