I am particularly pleased with Carolan's Lament - it's my own arranegment and did you realise that I named it? In the collections (eg Donal O'Sullivan's) it is part of an un-named section - just called Number 172. I also think I may have invented the tuning - CGEbGCEb - which I call Double Cm.
Judy Garland sings this beautifully. There are several versions of this song sung by her on YouTube. The best is of just a phonograph playing a 1947 Decca recording. Listen to it.
Stephen - merci bien! Indeed this is a beautiful version of a beautiful song. I also have it sung by Deirdre O'Callaghan - sounds more Gaelic than Judy does.
fantastic rentition and a beautiful D-45!

Thanks for the comments. The tape was made through a camcorder - nothing special - except the Martin guitar of course!
