www.cdbaby.com/carolansgift
Irish harpers were celebrated in myths and
legends as the sound of Ireland. The most famous was Turlough
O'Carolan (1670-1738) who traveled the Irish countryside,
composing over 200 melodies that blend traditional Irish folk
music with the style of his contemporaries Vivaldi and
Corelli. Honored with the title “Chief Musician of Ireland”,
he left his music as a gift to the world: elegant baroque
style melodies, lively jigs and dreamy laments. Carolan
continues to inspire musicians to this day. This recording
presents Carolan’s musical gifts in a chamber music style
performed on Celtic harp, Irish flute, fiddle, hammered
dulcimer, viola da gamba, guitar and piano.
