Description

Considered by many to be Ireland’s national composer, Turlough O’Carolan was a 17th century blind harpist and composer who left a legacy of beautiful melodies. He specialized in waltzes and slow Aires, and in this particular piece you can hear his classical influences (he was said to have admired the work of his contemporary J.S. Bach). This solo arrangement for banjo brings out the harp-like quality of the instrument, and is a delight to play.
