about

We had hoped to have more harp on this album but time and the vagaries of life got in the way. We did, however, get this one in. Mark picked it up from the playing of Patrick Ball. The air is often listed as Carolan’s Dream, but we have chosen to use the title given by the composer William Connellan. Carolan is reported to have said that he would rather have composed Molly MacAlpin than any of the melodies that he himself had written. Quite a compliment coming from the master of the harp that Carolan was.
