Summary

This tune in 3/4 time is a rare find from Turlough O&#39Carolan (1670 - 1738). It&#39s only found in one source dated in the early 1900&#39s from Chief Francis O&#39Neill who had procured a rare notebook of old Irish tunes. The melody and title didn&#39t sync well until I made a slide-show video (in the BHO archive) of people happy with tears. As several of my O&#39Carolan pieces, I&#39ve added cello banjo in the background.
