Score and parts. 2 pages. Gordon Jackson #6434593. Published by Gordon Jackson (A0.1017674). Carolanâ€™s FrolicTurlough 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 Frolic is an example of the latter.This tune is most commonly known in the literature as â€˜Thomas Judgeâ€™, but best known in Irish music circles as â€˜Carolanâ€™s Frolicâ€™. As I have arranged it, there is no real need for accompaniment, as long as it is played by a skilful mandolin player, combining as it does quite speedy runs of semiquavers (32nd notes) and some tricky double stopping.
