My dear Tamsin,
Each listening to your interpretations is a moment of pure pleasure for me who loves the work of the great Turlough O' Carolan so much. Your arrangement is magic, and allowed me a beautiful journey in music. Thank you for this beautiful artistic gift, and wishing you a very nice weekend.
Musically,
Phil

Make please more celtic tunes this is so good!

[@TamsinDearnley]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@acolleenjones]

Beautiful and I can play it on my Odyssey!

[@TamsinDearnley]

Ahhh yes you can! I love arranging for 26 strings - you have to be just a little bit more careful to make sure things sound balanced, but it's really worth it to have a piece you can play with a more easily transportable harp...!

[@delpharp]

Je me disais bien que je reconnaissais le bar !! Incroyable, sublime interprétation et le cadre rend super bien

[@TamsinDearnley]

Haha, vous connaissez Toulouse?! (Vous êtes sur Toulouse?! Si oui, dites moi - je serais /ravie/ de rencontre une autre harpiste ici...!) Merci beaucoup de vos mots si gentils 😍🎶

[@delpharp]

@@TamsinDearnley j'y ai vécu 5 ans, malheureusement je n'y suis plus ! Peut-être que c'était vous que je voyais jouer parfois dans la rue des Carmes ? Si je passe à Toulouse, je vous ferai signe 😊

I love the music from the Celtic Nations. That's the lands of my ancestors. I am a Wallace.

So delightful!! Love to hear you play!!!

[@fastidioussloth6013]

Exquisite and ethereal. (I play my arrangement on guitar at slower minuet pace and the pitch is much lower.) Please record a whole CD of O'Carolan.

[@TamsinDearnley]

Thank you so much! And it's on my list, but I'm not sure when I'll get round to it...! ;)

[@silvioperugini5890]

I would love to purchase your arrangement, but the link listed above doesn't work. :(

[@TamsinDearnley]

Hello! Oh, I do apologise - thank you so much for mentioning this! I thought I had updated all my links when I migrated the shop, but this one I seem to have missed. I've updated it now, but here it is as well: tamsindearnley.co.uk/sheetmusic/?id=carolans-cottage
I hope you enjoy it!

[@briankerr4512]

That's worth a case of beer.

[@TamsinDearnley]

I'm very glad you think so! ;)

[@toni2606]

Beautiful! Could this be modified to play on a 22/44 double strung harp? Thank you!🎶🙂

[@TamsinDearnley]

Hello! The range of this arrangement goes from C below middle C (C3) to 3 Ds above middle C (D6), so it may need some tweaking to work, I'm afraid - that being said, with double strings your hands can overlap much more so you could probably do a bit of re-arranging if you're willing to!

[@gerald-dw7vp]

Est-ce que sur votre partition (celle qui est en vente) vous indiquez quel doigt doit faire quelle note ? Merci 🙂

[@TamsinDearnley]

Bonjour, merci de votre message! Je regrette, mais je n'ai pas indiqué le doigté sur cette partition - désolée!

[@gerald-dw7vp]

@@TamsinDearnley Ok, merci 🙂
