Very nice - not the easiest piece to play. The B music (ie the second part) is different in many different sources. Sullivan's book is generally reckoned to be the most accurate, and that is very different from what's played here. But I have heard this version played all over the place too. The Dustys are lovely harps - I love my Ravenna 34. Nice pace to this performance.
That's not the proper version. I know that there are probably a million different versions to the song but the actual version is alot different. I probably think that I say that because I'm actually Irish and have played the harp since I was 4 but still, it's a lot different from the original.
@AnyMusicalWillDo The "original" is 300 years old... very unlikely the "original" survives as Turlough played it. Let's let other musicians give their takes on it, eh?
@digitalis7 I do not know what triplets and fluorishing you really need, but look for the same piece O'Carolan's Concerto, played by Derek Bell and the Chieftains. I dare say Derek was the greatest Irish harp player of the last century..!
Who are the two guys sitting in the chairs on stage? This is beautiful. They look stern like they're judges. If they are, I hope gave this young lady very high marks. She's great and so is Carolan's Concerto. It's one of the first pieces I learned when I started playing the mandolin - easy to play and delightful.

Great! I'm going to steal some of those flourishes and triplets (for NST guitar).
