Helen,

Thanks - I never could figure out Farewell - then I forgot all about it (sorry...) I'll have to check it out again as I'm putting up the single line melodies to go with the full arrangements...

Murray,

Carolan's tunes appear in several Irish manuscripts and a book of them was published circa 1721. Some of Carolan's tunes were published in his lifetime in Celebrated Irish Tunes and Carolan's son published a collection of Carolan's tunes (just before running off to London with another man's wife) - they were republished in 1780. Most of the early copies are either extremely rare or no longer exist. The tunes that survived are only single line melodies so we know nothing about how Carolan accompanied them.

Speaking of Sheebeg and Sheemore - Thomas Moore wrote lyrics to the tune, "Of All the Fair Months That Round the Sun." What did the Wolfetones do to it?
