A great many singers and musicians were recorded by the Irish Folklore Commission, perhaps the most celebrated of these being the piper Johnny Doran, recorded in 1947. Many of the 3,000 pages of original sheet music in the Collection are the work of Séamus Ennis, who was employed for several years by the Commission. These early recordings of music are complemented by the work of the folk music collector, Breandán Breathnach, whose extensive collection of music and song was transferred from the Department of Education to University College Dublin in 1974. Members of Breathnach’s team of collectors, notably Tom Munnelly, were employed by UCD to continue this valuable collecting work. The Irish Folk Music Section of the National Folklore Collection is also home to a collection of manuscripts and books dealing with almost every aspect of music, song and dance, including English-language songbooks from the 18th century, and an important collection of 19th century broadsheet ballads.

I 1974, d’aistrigh an Roinn Oideachais an cnuasach ollmhór ceoil agus amhrán a thiomsaigh Breandán Breathnach, nach maireann, chuig an gColáiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath. Cruthaíodh Rannóg an Cheoil Tuaithe mar chuid de Roinn Bhéaloideas Éireann mar thoradh ar sin. Tá roinnt cnuasach eile ceoil agus amhrán ag Rannóg an Cheoil a bhí tiomsaithe ag Coimisiún Béaloideasa Éireann. Chuir obair an tsainbhailitheora cheoil agus amhránaíochta, Tom Munnelly, in éineacht le baill eile de Roinn Bhéaloideas Éireann, go suntasach le raon agus téagar an cheoil tuaithe agus an ábhar amhránaíochta thaifeadta ó na 1970idí i leith. Chomh maith le taifeadtaí fuaime, coimeádtar cnuasach mór lámhscríbhinní agus leabhar a dhéileálann le beagnach gach gné den cheol, den amhránaíocht agus den damhsa i Rannóg an Cheoil. Ar na cinn is suimiúla díbh sin, áirítear sraith leabhar amhrán i mBéarla, cuid acu a foilsíodh san 18ú céad, chomh maith le cnuasach tábhachtach bailéad mórbhileoige. Áirítear sa chnuasach fosta, céad eagráin de mhórshaothair a bhaineann le ceol agus damhsa le Edward Bunting, George Petrie, agus Francis O’Neill; deascáin iomlána de pháipéir scoláirí agus bailitheoirí ceoil, daoine mar Fhionán Mac Coluim agus Dónall Ó Súilleabháin; mar aon le cnuasach mór taifeadtaí a eisíodh go tráchtála, a bhaineann go príomha le ceol traidisiúnta, ceirníní 78 rpm, fadchéirníní, caiséid agus dlúthdhioscaí. Ní mór coinne a dhéanamh le rochtain a fháil ar an ghné seo den Chnuasach.
