Instrumental Duet Guitar,Instrumental Duet,Mandolin - Level 4 - SKU: A0.1017672 Composed by Turlough Ã“ Carolan. Arranged by Gordon Jackson. Baroque,Celtic,Classical,Folk,Irish,Multicultural,World. Score and parts. 2 pages. Gordon Jackson #6434379. Published by Gordon Jackson (A0.1017672). 174Turlough Ã“ Carolan (1670-1738) was an Irish harper and composer. Carolanâ€™s music does not sit comfortably in any one particular musical tradition. He was the product of a long line of Irish harpers dating from medieval times or before. He was also aware of Irish folk music, with many of his tunes having a â€˜tradâ€™ quality, particularly in his jig-like compositions. Finally, Carolan was influenced by the music of Italian Baroque composers that he would have heard played at the great houses he visited. Carolanâ€™s Draught is an example of the latter.The rather prosaically titled â€˜174â€™ is simply the result of the airâ€™s original name being lost in the mists of time, and Donal Oâ€™Sullivan, in his Carolan: The Life Times and Music of an Irish Harper [sic.] allocated numbers to the tunes that had no titles (171-180). I have arranged this primarily for solo mandolin, although Iâ€™m sure it can be adapted for other instruments. The piece is played three times through: first, the basic unadorned melody; second, with just a few simple double stops and open strings; third, a fully-realised romp with many, often quite tricky, double stops (and open strings, of course, but theyâ€™re pretty easy!). Iâ€™ve added guitar chords above the staff (letter names only), not that it necessarily needs further accompaniment. The melody is so heavily arpeggiated the chords more or less wrote themselves. A word of warning â€“ easily discovered for yourselves, really â€“ beware of attempting to play this too fast lest those runs of quavers (16th notes) catch you unawares!

Finally, Carolan was influenced by the music of Italian Baroque composers that he would have heard played at the great houses he visited. Carolanâ€™s Draught is an example of the latter.This pleasant little tune is actually titled â€˜Colonel John Irwinâ€™ (Carolanâ€™s modus operandi was to compose tunes, often with lyrics, in honour of his wealthy patrons and their various family members). However, this one has become much more widely known as â€˜Planxty Irwinâ€™. A planxty is a tune, usually lively, composed in honour of a patron, although the actual etymology of the word is unknown, and may even have been coined by Carolan himself.For my arrangement of the tune I have written a counterpoint, which comes in second time around. Whilst the basic melody is mostly â€˜swungâ€™, i.e. with beats comprising dotted quaver-semiquaver-quaver (dotted 16th-32nd-16th), the counterpoint is â€˜straightâ€™, i.e. a quaver-quaver-quaver beat (16th-16th-16th). This creates a pleasant (I hope!) syncopation throughout.

Carolanâ€™s Draught is an example of the latter.Carolanâ€™s Draught is a lively tune equally at home in folk concerts and sessions, early music performances, schools, weddings and I have also used it as a learning piece with my mandolin and mandola students.I have composed a counterpoint and a bass part. My arrangement has the tune played three times through: first, the basic melody is played on its own; second, with the counterpoint; third, with the bass part added. This arrangement is completely flexible. The parts can be played on almost any instrument and in different octaves. Have fun with it!
