Turlough O'Carolan

Carolan Tunes

The background music on this page is Hewlett
Barry Taylor


The works of Turlough O'Carolan survive only as single line melodies. Interpretations of those melodies are as rich and varied as the artists who interpret them. It was suggested I put up single line melodies as well as full arrangements, which gives musicians an opportunity to hear the original work (thank you George Speller, for the idea!).


How the page works

The link under the information column will lead you to further information regarding the tune. Any tunes marked with a (g) will have a link to a graphic of the music. Most of the gif files on this site were from TuneBook Live!

The titles marked with (m) are single line melody only, Others are full arrangements. The sequencer of the arrangement is noted in the column. If you use any of these files on a web page, you must credit the arranger.
