Peter Blanchette
Best version of this song. Great, love it so much!
Man, you took this already perfect and immensely beautiful tune to a whole different level... Wow.
Brav eo ken eo brav!
Is there a way to purchase a copy of this? I think it is so hauntingly beautiful
You're a truly great artist.
Thank you everyone, for the kind words about this video! My good friend Paul Odgren has a way of making videos right there, while I'm performing, and you don't even notice him moving around- it's magical, once he edits it together.
Someone mentioned that there is another song in this arrangement- that's correct. It's called "The Bold Fenian Men."
Again, thanks so much for viewing, enjoying and sharing my music!
+archguitar Thank you, Peter, for making such beautiful music. Please keep it up; many of us have come to depend on it!
Thanks for the kind words!
is there a way I can get this on itunes?
That's magic! I'm wondering what's the tuning on this arrangement? thanks a lot
I love this guitar! I am an Italian Guitar teacher/player/composer.....I need to know where can I find a builder who can make this guitar for me! I cannot live without playing this magical instrument.
I’ve decided this will be the first RUclips video my son ever hears. He’s due to be born any day now.
Likely he he heard it before he was born.
This was our wedding (isle walk) song, 2 weeks ago, possibly the most beautiful piece of music we have ever heard ❤
This is divine and his rendering flows peacefuly like the movement of tranquil waters. Just out standing . This performance has made my evening.
Peter, lovey sounds. Also love how you sneak the Bold Fenian men in there and uinless you know the tune you do not even know its a different song all together.
Peace , love, and happiness to all!
Simply gorgeous. I've heard so many arrangements of this O'Carolan piece. The melody is quite simply one of the most beautiful ever created. It lifts your heart but also makes you weep. Makes me proud to be Irish :-)
I completely agree - this rendition of it is sublime.
The people in that church saw something special that day. Look at their faces. They will never forget it.
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
This piece takes you to another world, I could listen to this all day, I wish i had a fraction of this gentleman's talent on the guitar.
I went there and dis 200 Km when I was 15.
Great memories.
Greetings from Brussels, Belgium.
There was a pretty Catalan woman named Carolina I liked there. She was 22.
Oh sweet memories!
Beautiful. I had twin daughters one of which has sadly passed away and one got the height the other, who passed was the small one! I always will think of this as a song for them. Thank you again!
So sad to read this! At least, she will always be in your heart, and hopefully in a higher sphere, with GOD!
Just beautiful to listen to this on St. Patrick's day 2022.
Wonderful. An Irish tune in Spain. I'm so proud to be Irish. very, very well done Peter. What an impressive instrument. it's,hard enough plucking on 6 strings!
The tune, the playing of the tune, the beauiful setting and the attentive audience. All is absolutely perfect and a blessing to the soul. Let's not forget one person who is there in the form of this tune - and maybe in spirit - Turlough O'Carolam, the blind harper who overcame his condition to delight us with some of the most beautiful tunes ever composed. God bless all those involved.
My favorite composer - he takes you thru all the emotions of human life - into the HEAVENS and back - GOD BLESS YOU TURLOUGH O'CAROLAN - hope to meet you one day!
The brides in my family walk down the isle to this with the uilleann pipes, this is so beautiful and gentle and wonderful xx
sounds like a terrific event!
Your arrangement and ornaments make it glow. Hats off to you, Peter.
I love that the best I've ever heard it played
Without doubt my favourite O'Carollan tune and beautifully played. Thanks so much.
I come here often. As an Irishman who loves music (esp O’Carolan and Planxty) and churches , this soothes my soul. Wonderful arrangement, wonderful playing, wonderful setting. Thank you Peter
Me too, Brian! Huge Planxty listener here. This is, indeed soul-soothing. I'm grateful for Peter Blanchette!
Me three!
You played with O'Carolan this beautiful mistic song. The little people will be with you for ever.
Thankyou. Just so lovely...
I rarely ever sign into RUclips, I rarely ever comment, but this put me on the floor. An amazing interpretation . Thank you sir.
I remember my music teacher in Clonmel Tipperary playing this on his harpsichord. He was a gifted man. His name was Micheal Ó Suibheallain and he has since passed. He told us that someday most of us would listen again to the tunes of O Carolan and in fairness it has happened.
Was that THE Michael O’Suilleabhain - the professor? Lucky to have him as your music teacher.
@@joefagan9335 Yes indeed it was. His mother had been accidently killed in her home by a gas explosion and so he spent a few years back in his hometown.
This is reaching my soul at 5am when nothing else, no one else could do. Deep respect from a fellow musician and travelling soul in the world
A stunningly beautiful performance.
Beautiful version of a brilliant song written by a brilliant composer who lived long ago.
One word…. Beautiful
great performanse and sound
Ahhh, I shudder to think how much in back royalties I owe Turlough for this feckin' little number.
Wow! We were there! (and this video proves it!)
Balm to my soul, thanks.
This is beautiful. Hearing it is like inhaling after not being able to breathe. Beauty is especially important in difficult times such as these.
Beautiful
Your rendition of this is absolutely beautiful. You play as if you have the heart and soul of an Angel.
Such a moving and beautiful rendition. It lifts the spirit
Thank you for your amazing music Peter!

What a totally incredible sound - matched only by the peerless playing and wonderful arrangement. Thank you for uploading this treasure.
What a perfect setting for a perfect rendition of a perfectly lovely song.
This tune has a deeply resonant effect on me. I just think I must have heard it in another life. Fast or slow, on any instrument, it is my favorite.
Faith Haddad its 1 Tune and 1 song mixed in the middle

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
BRAVO PETER & Thank You so much. This piece was a fav of a very dear friend, Michael James Smith. He was a self-taught classical guitarist who was my friend for 50+ years. Lost Him app. 4 years ago. Miss Him Dearly. Jimmie must have been tired playing this for me ............but, He never said it. hahahaha. You truly warmed my heart tonight.
I wish it would never end .. the peace and depth of your playing is amazing . Bravo
For me your guitar playing is my temple of peace, thank you for being such a blessing, have a blessed days Peter

Amazing ! Wow
I was asked to play "Simple Gifts" on dulcimer for a friend who was getting married but when I saw her looking so beautiful I couldn't remember SG and I played this tune instead. Not that SG isn't a great song, but this one fit the occasion better. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful music well played!
Thank you, Peter Blanchette, for immortalizing this wonderful arrangement of this beautiful tune on YT that we might enjoy it, over and over, it is truly sublime! My best, Ed
Just found this -- so incredibly beautiful! Thank you, Peter
A very beautiful piece/ peace ❤
A wonderful arrangement of this beautiful piece by Turlough O'Carollan, one of the greatest of composers.
Very beautiful music we used this music for our wedding and people just loved it. You are very talented man and enjoy listening to your music, keep up the great work
Perfect match between el camino and the music. Beautiful.
Wow!!! 🤩🤩🤩 - This is just wonderful!!!
何度も聴いています
心が休まる演奏
stunningly beautiful
Love this tune. Been listening to all versions. Definitely the most beautiful. I've learned on violin.
Very haunting, very pleasant.
I only have one thing to say....majestic
This is the best version for this lovely and beautiful irish folk tune,
I think that is unbeatable...I like very much, how I wish I could have it!!👋
I agree totally!
What gorgeous playing, transcends space and time, just beautiful
I love these pieces. Gorgeous. Thank you.
wunderbar und sehr schön musiziert. Vielen Dank
Truly beautiful in every sense. I keep coming back over the years to listen to this recording.
same here, I often come back and feel refreshed by it
This is incredible.
Thank you for posting.
Wonderful! :) Especially adding the part with Bold Fenian Men. Never heard that before and wow what a fit :)
Absolutely stunning.
Learning this with a friend on Bazouki/sax... SO glad I found yours... Thank you for sharing your gift. Beautiful!
Starting to learn this on the concertina, wish me luck!
So beautiful. Thank you from Italy
Stunning!!!!
This is so good I can taste it. Before this recording there were only two recordings/renditions of "Si Beag Si Mor" that I would listen to: Patrick Ball and Liam O'Flynn. Now I have "found" this man's music. Thanks be to God. If one doesn't hear and feel the Divine in Mr. Blanchette's music, one is either not listening or not human. Thank you, Mr. Blanchette, for a new take on human-ness and music. So glad to know about your story and music.
