Many of these melodies have fascinating histories, dating from the 1700s up to the time of the Irish music publisher Francis O'Neill who was also the Chicago chief of police. The collection includes jigs, reels, hornpipes, songs, fiddle tunes, hymn tunes, whistling tunes, and melodies byrenowned Irish harper Turlough Carolan. A separate recorder edition is available.

Carolan tunes arranged for harp and one or two melody instruments. Full and interesting harp accompaniments that support the melody instruments, making these great for performing. This unique collection is arranged in period style with the harmonies, ornaments and variations as they might have been played in Dublin taverns and Irish country houses around 1800. The original 1796 version of Carolan?s Concerto is included in both solo harp versions as well as concerto form. The range of pieces include ancient modal harp airs (Bridget Cruise, First Air) to the elegant High Baroque (Mrs. Judge) to lively planxties as jigs and hornpipes (Planxty George Brabazons).
