Owen Roe O’Neill was a famous 17th-century Irish soldier who died just before he could take part in resisting the Cromwellian invasion of Ireland. His death gave rise to this beautiful tune, which has the poignant lyrical lines and lovely chord structures characteristic of so many tunes by Turlough O’Carolan. You’ll need at least a 15/14 instrument to make the most of this arrangement.
