Month's Mind (John Ireland)

Month's Mind is a piece for piano solo composed in 1935 by John Ireland.

The manuscript, published by Augener, is headed by a quotation from John Brand’s Observations on Popular Antiquities (1777).

According to Philip R Buttall, this piece "encapsulates the quite individual harmonic language of the composer, bitter-sweet with its fair share of dissonance, but never added for mere effect alone".

A performance takes about 4½ minutes.
