Turlough OCarolan was born in County Meath, Ireland in 1670. He was trained as a youth to play the harp, and throughout his life composed a large number of songs. OCarolan developed a personal style, containing melodic elements of Irish folk music, courtly harp music and Italian baroque music. OCarolans music was not published during his lifetime; therefore, various versions of his melodies have been handed down through the aural tradition. It is also not known how he accompanied his melodies. This collection presents 39 favorite OCarolan melodies in easily playable, lively arrangements for alto treble recorder, with guitar chords above the staves. Included are four original melodies by Richard Voss inspired by and in the style of the early master.

Worth the effort. The songs complement the sound of the recorder.

A nice collection
This is a collection of Irish airs, jigs, dance music, etc. scored for alto recorder and guitar. The music is very straightforward and accessible, and written in the typical keys in which you'd expect it to be played on tin whistle. These tunes aren't bad for beginner/intermediate play at slow tempi, but they'll drag along. At the fast tempi at which they should be played, a fair amount of finger dexterity is required.
