- O' Carrolan's Concherto
- by Turlough O' Carrolan.
- Tabbed by Brian Farrelly (bfrrelly@unix2.tcd.ie)
-
-
- O'Carrolan was a blind minstrel who wandered the highways and
- byways of Ireland in the 17th century. He mainly wrote pieces of music
- for the gentry of the time and thus much of his music bares their names
- i.e. Planxty George Irwin etc. He wrote for the harpsichord and thus
- sounds really well on guitar.
-
- You really need a record of this tune to get the timing as it is
- like most trad. Irish music insofar as it is individual notes. I
- believe the Chieftans do a version of it on one of their records!
-
- And questions etc, please mail me!
-
- Brian! (Enjoy!)
