O'Neill's MAIN PAGE INDEX OF ALL TUNES ON SITE IN EXCEL FORMAT (Free Excel Reader) A Second verzion of the O'Carolan tunes is available HERE Download and install the BOXMARKS.TTF font for notations! Support for this site is provided by FRAYED KNOT ARTS and by those who have purchased a copy of the collections on CD. My thanks to all of you who have done so. (Errors? Corrections? EMAIL me!) In 1958, Donal O'Sullivan published his collection of The Complete Works of Turlough O'Carolan. He included some 213 tunes and extensive scholarly notes, words to some of the songs, other historical impedimentia and suchlike and his numbering system has just about become the "sine qua non" for O'Carolan's music. MANY of the tunes in the several O'Neills collections noted as "By O'Carolan" are NOT included in O'Sullivans as he was unable to document O'Carolan's authorship in any way, all attributions being apocryphal only. This has afforded the Irish Traditional Music community yet another reason for donnybrooking at any number of gatherings/meetings/pubs/general mayhem parties, etc. It should not overly concern thee, O Gentle reader. 85% of what we THINK OCarolan wrote is probably drastically different than what he DID write due to the almost inevitable error-generation inherent in nearly 300 years of Aural tradition, mis-transcriptions and just general "Getting It Wrong And Then Claiming That's How I Heard It"-itis: The only way we could possibly be sure that something was the same today as O'Carolan's final composition would be to get Mr. Peabody's "The Wayback Machine" and go listen to it. (And even then, I'll bet that if you had three Irish Traditional Musicians along, you'd get four versions of the tune, along with two new political parties, a police informant, at least one good fist-fight. and a marriage proposal.) Wurra! Just enjoy the tunes and let the scholars fight amongst themselves. Me? As soon as this is done, I'm changing my name and becoming a Finnish citizen... they'll never find me there! |
