Thank you Dan. Much appreciated.
In fact I did quite a few "arrangements" (rather harmonizations in fact) of
some Carolan's pieces for the recording we did last summer with my ensemble. There are a
few solos in the programme, that is one of them. The cd should be released next mont
hopefully...
Best,

I enjoyed your arrangement/harmonisation too. I wonder if anyone might
have thought it was from Balcarres, even though Carolan is from a
different country and from a different era (and yet maybe your
arrangement/harmonisation... is more fluent?)
The last time you put up some arrangements/harmonisations with your
group I thought I'd like to have a go at something like it and I dug out
some old Irish melodies - I think they were from Bunting. Anyway I had
single lines in front of me and absolutely no idea what to do with them
Do you create a bass line and/or have harmonies in your head? I can
understand that once you have some sketch of bass+harmony, you can make
it idiomatically Baroque lute music but I don't know where you get the
bass and harmony from!

Beautiful! Bravo! I love Carolan's music- very well played too; wish
I had the time& brains to arrange his music for lute, one of my old
favorites. (used to play versions on lyra viol, years ago). Nice
lute, too. One of my friends is getting a theorbo from Van Edwards.
Thanks, please record more of this.

(My first vid with my then brand new 11 c. lute by David Van Edwards).
This piece will be on our cd "Green Sleeves and Pudding-Pies", with
music from the Celtic lands (Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Brittany)
in the 17th and 18th centuries which should be released some time in
January...
