Description

CD – O’Carolan’s Concerto

Turlogh O’Carolan was a blind Irish Harper who lived from 1670-1738. He traveled Ireland, playing his hard and composing music. These beautiful melodies are still alive today and are played here on hammer dulcimer. The Accompaniment ranged from a string quartet to a full orchestra and is listed with each song. We hope that Turlough would have been pleased.

Why Purchase a CD When I Can Stream for Free?

The Celtic Croft has a wide selection of Scottish, Irish, and Celtic music CDs. We’re discontinuing many of them, so get one while it lasts! The way we listen to music has changed greatly within the past 20 years. Music streaming not only had a huge negative impact on professional musicians in the earlier years of music pirating, it continues to make it difficult for musicians to make a living. Even though free streaming apps pay artists, they often get only a fraction of a penny for each listen. By purchasing one of our CDs, you directly support your favorite Celtic, Scottish, and Irish musicians.
