about

Turlough O’Carolan is probably the most famous Irish harper and composer in all of Irish history. His original compositions were popular in his own time in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and many are still very popular today.

This tune was originally transcribed as "Unidentified Air #171" in the Sullivan Manuscript, but has traditionally become known as Carolan's Welcome.
