An Irish Tale. Par COLES PAUL. Paul Coles has a chequered career as composer, performer, teacher and publisher, all centred around his instrument, the guitar. His latest work, “Dagda’s Harp”, is influenced by the story of Dagda, the Celtic god of the Earth and evokes the unmistakable sounds of Irish folk music. Dagda possessed a magic harp, on which he is supposed to have played magical sounds, including music of dreaming, music of sorrow and music of joy. These three states are represented in a suite of pieces that will be suitable for intermediate players, as either teaching or concert material./ Répertoire / Guitare

(Part - Guitar)-Acallam na Senórach by Tarik O'Regan was co-commissioned by the National Chamber Choir of Ireland The DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at University of Notre Dame Indiana and Peak Performances at Montclair State University Montclair New Jersey.First performed on 25 November 2010 at St Ann’s Church Dublin by the National Chamber Choir of Irelandwith Stewart French (Guitar) directed by Paul Hillier.The Guitar part was edited by Stewart French.Tarik O'Regan on the music:In writing this musical setting of Acallam na Senórach I was drawn to the evenness of the dialogue. Instead of St Patricksimply converting the pagan warriors he is encouraged to listen to Ca lte’s stories and poems of an earlier time in which the saint delights.This secular/sacred osmosis is maintained unwaveringly throughout the entire text. By the end of the narrative one has witnessed not only the arrival of a new religion in Ireland but also a richly-recounted secular narrative map of the entire island: the peaceful and enriching shaking of two great hands.In preparing the libretto (the sung text) I have focused on only a few of the shorter constituent tales. This decision was born of the practical constraints of duration. I have however kept the skeleton albeit smaller of the overall frame in place. Finally for the sake of simplicity Ois n is removed from the primary narrative.The characters are not assigned specific voices. The narrative as a whole is carried by a persistently changing combination of voices and guitar. The one exception is Cas Corach the musician of the s d (underworld) who is most closely embodied throughout this setting in the solo interludes for guitar.The music itself is not ethnographically inclined; that is I have not attempted to reconstruct theories on Irish music of the period from which Acallam stems. However the score generally and especially in the guitar writing is imbued with an air

Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) was the most famous Irish composer of his time. His memorable melodies influenced both by European classical music and by ancient Gaelic harp traditions have remained popular through the centuries and lend themselves especially well to fingerstyle guitar. The arrangements in this volume are of intermediate difficulty and are a pleasure to play for guitarists of almost any skill level. There are a few well-known tunes here but most of the arrangements are O'Carolan 's lesser known works though they rank with his best music.
