Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turlough O'Carolan was born in County Meath, Ireland in 1670. He was trained as a youth to play the harp, and throughout his life composed a large number of songs. O'Carolan developed a personal style, containing melodic elements of Irish folk music, courtly harp music and Italian baroque music. O'Carolan's music was not published during his lifetime; therefore, various versions of his melodies have been handed down through the aural tradition. It is also not known how he accompanied his melodies. This collection presents 39 favorite O'Carolan melodies in easily playable, lively arrangements for alto (treble) recorder, with guitar chords above the staves. Included are four original melodies by Richard Voss inspired by and in the style of the early master.

Download or read book O Carolan s Ramble written by Michael Alan Wood and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the last of the Irish Bards, Turlough O'Carolan (1670 - 1738) was a blind Irish harp player who made his living rambling across 17th century Ireland writing and performing songs to honor and memorialize his patrons. His music remains today a staple of traditional Irish and Celtic music. With his beautiful and often haunting melodies, these tunes will bring you back 300 years, conjuring pastoral images of rural Ireland, with its rolling hills and lush green meadows. So come along as we ramble through life with a bit more of O'Carolan's music to make the journey all the more enjoyable.All tunes in this book are in standard tuning (EADGBE) or in drop D (DADGBE) with the low E string tuned down one whole step to a D. Similar to my Gigging Guitarist collections, I use as many open and ringing strings to simulate the melodic nature of the harp. Barre chords are also limited to allow as much open resonance of the guitar. In fact, only one tune, "Carolan's Cup," uses barre chords.Tunes include: Blind Mary, Bridget Cruise - 3rd Air, Captain O'Kane, Carolan's Cup, Carolan's Draught, Carolan's Ramble to Cashel, Carolan's Receipt (Dr. John Stafford), Carolan's Welcome (Carolan's Air), Eleanor Plunkett, Fanny Poer, John O'Connor, Lady St. John, Morgan Magan, Planxty George Brabazon - 2nd Air, Planxty Hewlett, Planxty Irwin (Colonel John Irwin), Princess Royal (Miss MacDermott), Si Bheag, Si Mhor, The Clergy's Lamentation
