So beautiful! The music brings me into the fresh morning of a beautiful village among mountains, where streams go through... Lovely!

Personally, I think it could be even better without the applause in the beginning and the end.

Love this,we played in the fleadhs this year and everyone thinks this is the one that one it for us..think its played a bit too fast here though =S but still nice [=

[jaimeohjaime]

because it wasn't written by O'Carolan. Michael Rooney of Draiocht composed it.

does anyone know why this piece doesn't appear on any list of O'Carolan's works?
