Complete Works of O' Carolan for $8.99 at Amazon

Complete Works of O' Carolan for $8.99 at Amazon

I don't know if this was posted by anyone else. If so, I'm sorry but I searched but didn't see anything. This is a great deal.

The complete collection of 214 tunes, by pianist J.J. Sheridan, recorded in 2007, is available for download. $8.99 for the entire collection. It sells for $125 on CDs.

Why is a pianist playing O'Carolan tunes?

Good for what it is, but doesn't do much for me really.

What does O' Carolan's music have in common with rap?

They are both available in "clean" and "explicit" versions. Yup, I had downloaded my copy of the Complete Works from the iTunes Store and found that tune 204 is listed as "Var. On the Scottish Air - C**k Up Your Beaver." I guess Amazon is selling the explict version, which they list as "...Cock Up Your Beaver. "

Aren't you glad the iTunes Store has someone looking out for our moral well being? I guess they aren't aware of the meaning of the term, which comes from a Burns poem and means something like "straighten your hat."

These were written for harp and the piano is a high tech harp so
what's wrong that?

Don't think it matters who plays Carolan or what you play it on - but on another list I subscribe to, a piano is described as "a harp in a coffin". Probably unfair!
