Originally published in 1958, Donal O'Sullivan's classic study of Turlough O Carolan became a musical and historical beacon for all those interested in Ireland's past and present. It is an indispensable tool for Irish musicians, who through this remarkable volume of research can go beyond the music itself, and engross themselves in the colourful world of this unique musician. This new edition contains all the original sections on The Life of Carolan, with all 213 tunes, the annotations.
