John Francis Larchet John Francis Larchet was an Irish composer and teacher. He studied at Trinity College Dublin , also at the Royal Irish Academy of Music with Michele Esposito . Larchet was music director at the Abbey Theatre from 1908 to 1935 and was therefore responsible for the stage music accompanying many of the pivotal plays of the Irish Literary Renaissance , in particular those of William Butler Yeats , and also had his ballet Bluebeard performed there, including the dancer Ninette de Valois . Although a prolific composer and arranger, his main contribution to Irish music was as a teacher: He taught harmony and counterpoint at the Royal Irish Academy of Music between 1920 and 1955 and was Professor of Music at University College Dublin between 1921 and 1958. Among his pupils were Frank Ll. Harrison, Michael Bowles, Frederick May , Walter Beckett , Joan Trimble , Brian Boydell , T.C. Kelly, Havelock Nelson , Gerard Victory , and Seóirse Bodley . Larchet was primarily a composer of miniatures and an arranger of Irish folksongs for classical ensembles. His arrangement of the Irish national anthem is the official version still in use today. His daughter, Sheila Larchet Cuthbert, is an Irish harpist and author. She published The Irish Harp Book: A Tutor and Companion .Selected works Stage The Land of Heart's Desire , incidental music to play by W. B.
