This wonderful collection of Irish melodies contains 32 tunes composed by the great blind 17th century Irish harpist and poet, Turlough O’Carolan. The music is arranged for two players, with the melody in the top staff, and the harmony in the lower staff. Guitar chord symbols for accompaniment are included. There is even information in the back of the book about O’Carolan, and the tunes, to help folks understand how and why O’Carolan composed them.
This book has the same tunes in the same keys as the O’Carolan Fiddle Tunes for Two
series which includes books for violins, violas, cellos, basses, and mandolins. For instance a soprano recorder player and a violist could play together if each had the appropriate book.
