This complete edition of all known compositions of the Irish harper Turlough,
(or Terence ) Carolan ( 1670 - 1738 ) features 214 tunes dedicated to many of
his patrons, as well as laments, planxties & miscellaneous tunes. Cardan's music
is here reproduced in all its sparkling originality ; most of his pieces are of a
lively, convivial character and have been firmly established in the repertory of
traditional Irish music, while many of his later compositions show the influence;
of the ' Italian school ' which was in vogue in Dublin during Cardan's lifetime.
Many tunes display a fascinating blend of traditional Irish & Continental styles. Included in this edition are also a concise biography and several facsimili
reproductions of 18th cent. first editions of Cardan's work and manuscripts of
Irish music researchers of the last century such as Bunting & Pigot. These 214 carefully annotated compositions will be welcomed by traditional
instrumentalists and all those interested in Ireland's Undying, vibrant musical
heritage the world over.

O'Carolan's works,

This review is from: The Complete Works of O'Carolan (Paperback)
A lovely book. I am glad it was available, since it has been out of print for some time. O'Carolan's tunes are beautiful, and it is a pleasure to be able to play them all.
