Carolan's Dream - played on celtic harp
Turlough O'Carolan was an irish harpist who lived in the mid-1600s and wrote pieces for the people he met and stayed with - playing music in exchange for hospitality. Tradition has it that the harp was played last thing at night, before people went to bed.
The building I'm playing it in was a bakery built around 1790, serving the local houses. The bread oven is in the stone wall behind me, and the building has a new floor and triple-glazing on the windows. It's a great mixture of old and new and a great place to play this music.
Appropriately, I recorded this piece very late one night, and just went with the first take so the playing has the odd rough bits. I like to think that's authentic - apparently Carolan never played the same way twice. Bet he never had as much trouble as I did finding DivX codecs, either!
Only the melodies survive, so I've done this arrangement myself and I'm playing it here on a Pilgrim gut-strung harp. The arrangement and video is my copyright. You are welcome to learn and play the arrangement (by ear - I haven't written it down!) if you like it - but please credit me if you play it in public. If you like it, I'll post more music.
To make the recording I used a Sony 3-CCD camera direct to hard disk, with one audio take, noise-reduced in Cool Edit Pro, with Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the visuals together. If you want a higher-quality file to download and keep on your computer, just send me a message.

Tune by Turlough O'Carolan in DGDGAD tuning. I've never really got on with DADGAD and was chuffed when I "discovered" this variant. I searched for as many versions as I could find to make this piece. This version was inspired by Dave Evans, William Coulter and a fantastic fast arrangement by Steve Cooney from a BBC documentary on Celtic music.

Si Bheag Si Mhor O'Carolan celtic harp tune
My arrangement was inspired by the bluebells in our local wood - where I recorded this version. The flowers are beautiful and I hope you enjoy the music.
Si Bheag Si Mhor is about a battle between two tribes of fairies - and the bluebell forest seems appropriate. I've used "bell-like" sounds in the music.
You can get a version with higher-quality pictures and sound at http://www.vimeo.com/730771 which you can also download to keep on your machine if you like.

O´Carolan
La música de Turlough O´Carolan (compositor del que toma el nombre el grupo) es una extraña combinación de música popular irlandesa y música de cámara.
El grupo centra sus conciertos en las composiciones de este arpista irlandés, adaptándolas a la forma de componer del grupo y enriqueciéndolas con el gran abanico de instrumentos que se muestran en escena.
El grupo O´Carolan toma su nombre del arpista irlandés Turlough O´Carolan (1670 -- 1738),compositor y músico al que se le suele calificar como 'el último bardo' . La mayorÃa de los temas que componen el repertorio del grupo son composiciones de este autor, aunque también se incluyen melodÃas tradicionales de Escocia, Bretaña, Asturias...
Músicos:
Susana Arregui : violÃn
Pilar Gonzalvo: arpa céltica, acordeón diatónico
Julian Ansuategui: bodhran, jembé, tin whistle
Chema Arcarazo: guitarra acústica
Miguel Angel Fraile: tin whistle, low whistle, gaita de boto, bombarda
Jesús Acero: bouzouki, gaita escocesa, gaita gallega, mousette 16 pulgadas

O'Carolan, a Spanish folk band.
They're who inspired me to play the fiddle.
I love all their tunes, most of them based on the Turlough O´Carolan works.
I hope you enjoy their music too.
