That is beautiful, go raibh míle maith agat. He was an impoverished blind itinerant entertainer/composer at a time when Ireland had been laid waste by puritanical, land-hungry adventurers; the whole social system that supported such artists had been destroyed just before his birth. Carolan did not consider himself a mere traditional Irish composer, he saw himself in the ranks of the greats, Handel, Vivaldi, JS Bach......maybe in different circumstances it could have been so.
After 5 years, this is still one of the best Harp music available on TH-cam.
Beautiful. A song much beloved by Rory Gallagher, legendary Irish musician and played at his memorial by Máire Ní Chathasaigh.
I come back to this video often.
I can see why!
Gorgeous interpretation of an immensely important and powerful piece of harp music. Thank you Ms. Taaffe and Ms. Cuthbert for your contribution to making this world more beautiful, and reminding us of the grace and majesty of music
Beautiful arrangement ...articulate and your timing is immaculate ...Carolan's farewell must have been complex as evidenced by this beautifully idiosyncratic piece ...you have done it justice by playing it in the spirit that he wrote it.
What beautiful music and the sound of the harp is glorious,
The most ethereal and moving interpretation of the itinerant harper's final tune I have ever heard.
I stopped counting how many times ive listened to this last song arranged from Carolan's soul and played out of the depth of ciara's soul in this video 🥰
@@maHaTma86 Yes, she plays it beautifully.
💚🇮🇪🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶
from the pavement you just take three steps and you land in the 17th Irleand...Pure magic.
Ciara you are amazing... the best version ever... All the best!
Beautifully played. Also I love the filmography of this.
Absolutely gorgeous! Brilliant, really. Thank you for sharing your artistry. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely beautiful rendition of this tune. I can just picture O'Carolan composing this on his death bed. Hope to play my harp as wonderful as you do. I am learning this tune right now from a Lead Sheet, and am having a tad bit of difficulty with the counter-melody, but should be able to nail it soon....Please post more videos, as your playing is above and beyond....Blessings, Slan, Gloria
Same here! That's why I use these as study videos to get a feel for technique. Otherwise, I'd be eaten up by jealousy, lol!😭
I feel at absolute peace. Thank you.
Stunning arrangement and performance of music I just discovered this morning here on TH-cam. I listened to several other versions. Yours is by far the most musical and carries the most emotion. I feel in your playing a true connection with O'Carolan.
This is my favorite of O’Carolan’s pieces!
💚🇮🇪🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶

Smashin'. Really gets into the composer's head.
Breathtaking music
beautiful... like a dream...
This is stunning. You play with such feeling :)
Beautiful.
whoa. Gorgeous.
carolan produced some marvellous pieces...this is one of the best...a tricky but wonderful melody...used by micheal o suilleabhain in the film the treaty brendan gleeson 1991....well done ciara.
Nicely recorded whoever did this fine sound.
My family, until the Great Betrayal by my wayward kin and the subsequent confiscations when the Treaty of Limerick was abandoned were patrons of traditional filid and Harpists, had been since at least the time when their Tuath moved into Munster and subjugated the Desi, who'd collaborated with Danes. I congratulate Ciara: tá se go an han mhaith! And, we continue to support wherever we are.
Magnificent
Beautiful expressive, restrained & mature performance, & the ornamentation sounds apt and unfussy. One of my favourite Turloughs on TH-cam.

Beautifully played. Wonderful sound she is getting from that harp.
What is the make and model of the harp.
Good day beautiful sounding harp what type of harp are you playing
Title says it all
How many strings does a harp need to play this and other O'Carolan tunes.?
Странно, что только одно видео у автора на этом канале.
Very churchy harmonies! Quite different to Mark's version. Congratulations.
I don't know what is more beautiful, the song or u bbz 😎 you can pluck my strings anytime xox 😉💯💯😍
Can one come back as a harp in the next life?

The super wash cumulatively place because retailer perioperatively extend beyond a scared bread. panicky, divergent birth
