Carolan-Grundy: Carolan’s Shamrock – Traditional Irish Melody for Guitar

Description

Carolan’s Shamrock by Turlough O’Carolan

Three pieces by Turlough O’Carolan arranged for solo guitar by Alan Grundy.

Carolan’s Shamrock
This title occurred to me as I contemplated arranging some of Carolan’s tunes for the guitar. Since Carolan’s music comes to us through time as melody only, these arrangements have been harmonised by myself. I wanted to create a group of his works that would make an agreeable and informative representation of the beauty of his music. As with the distinctive three leaves of the Shamrock, I would suggest performing all three pieces as a group (as they are set in the standard format of Fast – Slow – Fast). However, they can, of course, be played individually if the performer so wishes.
