Carolan's Complete Works for Harpists
This comprehensive collection showcases the complete known compositions of the renowned Irish harper, Turlough (or Terence) Carolan (1670-1738). The edition features 214 tunes, each dedicated to many of Carolan's esteemed patrons, as well as laments, planxties, and a variety of miscellaneous tunes. The music is presented in its sparkling, original form, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in Carolan's captivating musical legacy.
Carolan's compositions are renowned for their lively and convivial character, and they have become firmly established in the repertoire of traditional Irish music. However, his later works also reflect the influence of the "Italian school" that was in vogue in Dublin during his lifetime. This fusion of traditional Irish and Continental styles creates a fascinating blend that has captivated musicians and music enthusiasts alike.
In addition to the meticulously reproduced compositions, this edition includes a concise biography of Carolan, as well as several facsimile reproductions of 18th-century first editions of his work and manuscripts from the collections of renowned Irish music researchers such as Bunting and Pigot. These historical documents provide valuable insights into the evolution and preservation of Carolan's musical legacy.
The 214 carefully annotated compositions presented in this edition will be welcomed by traditional instrumentalists and all those who are passionate about Ireland's enduring and vibrant musical heritage. This comprehensive collection serves as a testament to Carolan's enduring influence and the rich tapestry of Irish music that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
