Lovely. The fiddle line is very clear in this arrangement, avoiding the temptation to let the guitar have it's way with the harmony.

[@walterbordett2023]

I may be mistaken but I thought this was a harp tune originally.

[@taildragger7355]

@@walterbordett2023 You may be correct, it certainly has resonance with harp tune structure and range. I've been led to believe most all of O'Carolan's works were originally for fiddle.

[@galleryofguitar]

The melody is indeed very clear in Yvonne's arrangement. O'Carolan was a blind harpist and composed on the harp, so even if the melody was destined for a fiddle it was likely written at the harp.

[@taildragger7355]

@@galleryofguitar Indeed, if may French isn't failing me, Pascal Bournet writes in the forward of his guitar arrangements that Turlough studied with Mrs. Mac Dermott, a professional harpist, at age 18. This, the consequence of the harp being the preferred instrument of Ireland at the time.
