Ajoutée par magataganm, 02 Nov 2021 "The Brink of the White Rock" (also O'Carolan's Cup) is an Irish Air in 6/8 time. The tune is often attributed to blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), although it is a version, somewhat altered of an older song. Donal O'Sullivan (1858), in his definitive work on the bard says that O'Carolan may well have played it and perhaps altered it to his purpose, but that the piece is an altered version of a folk tune well-known in Carolan's time called "Ar bhruach na carraige báine" (On the Brink of the White Rocks). O'Carolan was known to be rather fond of spirits betimes, and this tune has been placed among his bacchanalian compositions. Source: TuneArch (https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Carolan%27s_Cup). Although originally written for Traditional Irish instruments, I created this Interpretation of the Irish Jig "The Brink of the White Rock" (O'Carolan's Cup) for Woodwind Trio (Flute, Oboe & Bassoon) and Classical Guitar. |
