I know people wiil laugh but I am trying to teach students to play together so…
Does anyone have a source for Irish music in 4 part harmony? Printed or on line.
I’m trying to sneek up on them with this Irish stuff.
I have never heard of this, but you might consider looking into piano-type arrangements. For example, we have a James Galway book that has a few lines: flute and piano. But, I have never seen more than that. Good luck.

This book and its sequal have some duets…
What is the class playing? Whistles? Recorders? Hurdy-Gurdies?
I have a 4-part choral arrangement of Danny Boy laying around here somewhere… Don’t have any way of getting it to you, though. 
Perhaps that’s… for the best…
Was it something like this?

That was a long time ago…
(It’s really not a terrible arrangement, as these things go. Plus, I had a solo.)
You can write it out yourself, easy. Just make sure the four parts are all unisono or octaves.
Since playing ITM in parts/harmony is totally foreign to the genre, why not look instead for arrangements from Riverdance or something equally “Celtic”?

I was once bored at the piano, and I improvised a four-part for Saddle the Pony… it was amazing… ly ugly… but pretty cool all the same.
Anyway fourparts really aren’t very hard to write at all. You could probably do it yourself.
Not four-part, but Matt Seattle produced a couple of books in standard notation called “Airs for Pairs” with some very nice two-part harmonies. We used 'em with our kids and their friends a few years ago and they were good. It’s sort of “Haste to the Wedding”/“Blackthorn Stick”-type stuff, but a good tune selection and none the worse for it.
Are you sure Saddle the Pony is Irish? I thought it was from Shetland …

neigh Dave, she be a Connemara now, wouldn’t she!
Dunno about harmony, but I’ve been told “The Butterfly” works as a round. There are three parts to the butterfly, so give them sheet music suitably organised to start at the three different points.
There are probably a few slip-jigs you could do this with…
Well, yeah, but it’s the idea 
It does, surprisingly well. It’s fun.
Thanks for your help.
The thing is I have a viola and a bass in a small ensamble and I am looking for bass cleft stuff to help them move into trad music.
Let us pray that the bass is not cleft!
Annie, it would behoof you to stop your evil ways.

I don’t know if cello music would help but Renata Bratt has music books for two or three cellos. Look in Books and CDs
Choral arrangements. Some are quite lovely. I think Ramish did one of Red Is The Rose. SAB gives you two treble and a bass clef part, but use a hiliter for the kids - reading scores is tough for newbies. Lots of free choir stuff in NoteWorthy format, too.
Try looking for at least two voice arrangements. Two people playing together the same melody if well synchronized sounds wonderful!
