==Commemoration== [[File:Thomas Moore Statue, Dublin.jpg|right|thumb|Statue of Moore in College Street, Dublin]] Moore is commemorated in several places: by a plaque on the house where he was born, by busts at [[River Avoca|The Meetings]] and [[Central Park]], New York, and by a bronze statue near Trinity College Dublin. There is a road in [[Walkinstown]], Dublin, named Thomas Moore Road, in a series of roads named after famous composers, locally referred to as the Musical Roads. * Many composers have set the poems of Thomas Moore to music. They include [[Ludwig van Beethoven]], [[Gaspare Spontini]], [[Robert Schumann]], [[Friedrich von Flotow]], [[Felix Mendelssohn]], [[Hector Berlioz]], [[Charles Ives]], [[William Bolcom]], [[Benjamin Britten]], and [[Henri Duparc (composer)|Henri Duparc]]. * As noted above (Irish Melodies / Later criticism and reappraisal), many songs of Thomas Moore are cited in works of [[James Joyce]], for example "Silent, O Moyle" in ''Two Gallants'' (''Dubliners'')<ref>''The James Joyce Songbook'', edited and with a commentary by Ruth Bauerle (New York: Garland Publishing, 1982), pp. 158β160.</ref> or "[[The Last Rose of Summer]]". * Irish American scholar, singer and critic [[James W. Flannery]] (born 1936) is widely recognized as a skilled interpreter of Thomas Moore's art songs. In 1997 he released a book and recording named ''Dear Harp of My Country: The Irish Melodies of Thomas Moore''.<ref>[https://www.irishtimes.com/news/traditional-1.247483 TraditionalTuath: Reels & Rondo] by Mic Moroney, [[The Irish Times|Irish Times]], Nov 6 1999</ref> * [[Oliver Onions]] quotes Moore's poem "Oft in the Stilly Night" in his 1910 ghost story "The Cigarette Case".<ref>Norman Donaldson, "Oliver Onions" in: [[E.
