Steemit Talent Contest week 6: Lord Inchiquin celtic mandolin
Hey there!
This little tune is by one of my favorite Irish/Celtic trad composers, Turlough O’Carolan. O’Carolan was a blind Irish harpist, who traveled the length and breadth of the emerald isle, composing tunes as he went. Often, he would compose tunes as payment or in gratitude to those who put him up for the night, fed him, or otherwise supported his art. Those tunes were often given the name of the person he wrote them for. O’Carolan’s music is unique, in that it is a perfect blending of the traditional Celtic melodic structure (modal) and the classical Baroque convention of the times.
Enjoy! 🙂
Good to hear some more Celtic music from you! Great job!
Thank you! I’ll be posting more tonight after my kids are in bed. :)
Oh a different signature! Haha nice
Beautiful tune. You should consider uploading your videos to DTube. Which runs on Steem Blockchain.

I’d love to, but I couldn’t get mine to upload, even after trying several times. :-/
Maybe I’ll try again sometime.
