"Save the Date"
5th Annual Carolan Festival
Sat., June 25, 2011
MALLERY FARM
WORCESTER, VT
Our festival is a gathering of people who play or listen to
the music of Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), Irish harper and composer. The spirit of the day will be to share our appreciation of the music. Proceeds from the following items go back into funding the Festival:
-DVD with 2007-2009 Highlights is $15 ($19 incl. S&H)
-2008 DVD is available for $5.
-The Carolan Tune Book (74 Tunes) sells for $10. ($12 incl. S&H)
-If you have an older version of the Tune Book, you may purchase the latest Tune Supplement with all the additional tunes for $1.
A list of the tunes included (tunes played at our previous Carolan Festivals in italics) - which will also serve as a starting point for tunes to play at this year's Festival.We will by no means be restricted to only these tunes- 214 tunes have survived!
Links to websites with written music and midi files are also listed in the Carolan References link, to help explore and learn tunes, whether by sight or by ear. The Carolan Festival will be held, Rain or Shine.
