What a wonderful version

[NewDave999]

@kilna2004 : Thank you, glad you like it. 

[NewDave999]

Great piece of music by O'Carolan. 18th century air, 'Celtic and Baroque' --Irish traditional meets Vivaldi. Glad you liked it. More to come...

Just lovely. A total pleasure

[NewDave999]

@ellisandy : Thank you for that , and thank Carolan the old master, for marrying Irish folk with Italian Baroque.

this song was written about Fanny Power, my great great great great great great grandmother

@4d87 Righto, 4d87-- Great music by Carolan, the old master--composed for an ancestor of yours, I take it.  Like most settings of Carolan, this is instrumental, but there were words written for it, and I heard Sean O'Riada's group perform it with a vocal in Irish Gaelic.

@4d87 I would be grateful if you could contact me with more information on this subject as I am doing some research on O'Carolan at the University of Manchester. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this great tune! I spent 6 months in Ireland in the mid 70's when the traditional music was having a great comeback led by the Chieftains ,Planxty,De Danaan ,Bothy Band etc and I adored the tunes of O'Carolan.
