| Added by magataganm, 17 Jan 2022 "O'Carolan's Draught" (AKA: Air or Planxty) was composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). The air was printed in Petrie's Music of Ireland (1882) with this note: "The following spirited harp melody was obtained from an old MS. music-book sent to me by Father Walsh, P.P. of Sneem, in the county of Kerry; and I found a second setting of it in an extensive manuscript collection of tunes made, within the present century, by Patrick Carew, a county of Cork piper, the use of which has been kindly allowed me by my friend Mr. Richard Dowden, Alderman of Cork. Though hitherto unpublished, and, apparently, unknown to preceding collectors, the peculiarities of its style, and of its flow of melody, can leave no doubt as to its being a genuine composition of the eminent composer whose name it bears: and as it seems to be known only in Munster, it may perhaps be regarded as one of the many tunes composed by the bard during his sojourn in that province; and which, unlike the majority of his Connaught tunes, do not appear to have been ever collected during their author's lifetime." The first two bars are identical to the English country dance tune "Justice Balance," printed in London publisher Charles and Samuel Thompson's Compleat Collection of 200 Country Dances, vol. 4 (1780, pp. 3 & 100). Turlough O'Carolan, the most famous harpist of Ireland, was born in 1670 in County Meath. His personal tragedy came at the age of 18, when smallpox took away his sight. The timing of these early events of his history is somewhat uncertain, but it was about this time that he began to learn the harp. He was never known as a virtuoso performer - Carolan's brilliance manifested in his poetry and music (The Blind Harper) Source: Tune Archive (https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Carolan%27s_Draug ht). Although originally created for traditional Irish instruments, I created this Interpretation of the Irish air "O'Carolan's Draught" for Flute, Oboe & Celtic or Concert (Pedal) Harp. | |||
