Celtic Tunes

Traditional Tunebook-
Carolan's Compositions

Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) was an Irish harper who fused elements of traditional Irish music with those of the Italian Baroque to create a unique and well-loved body of work. I have arranged most of the tunes below for solo guitar; these can be found in my four fingerstyle guitar books. - GW
