  • Feel the solitude of gently rolling waves in this beautiful intermediate harp arrangement of Turlough O'Carolan's Captain O'Kane. This traditional Irish tune pairs beautifully with "Mermaid's Tears" and both are written in E minor for intermediate harp. Right hand fingerings and chord symbols have been included throughout the score. The left hand uses 10th patterns and some slightly more advanced rhythms for expressive texture.
    In this video I am playing the Dusty Strings FH36S in walnut.

    It is a small miracle that I was able to record this piece in one take! Even though I would call it intermediate level, it feels very comfortable under the fingers.

      Anne Crosby Gaudet . It’s a complicated story:) I’ve had my Prelude for about 15 years and bought a used Allegro a year ago. My playing was put on hold for a long time, but thanks to running across you and Christy-Lyn, I’m ready to give it another go! You have great videos. Very educational, encouraging, soothing, and beautiful all at the same time. I’ve bought some of your sheet music already and look forward to playing them as I progress. I’ve also contacted you regarding lessons. Thanks so much!

    Beautiful! I just came across your channel and, although I don´t play the harp, I'm now inspired to learn this tune on the guitar. If you know anything about Captain O'Kane and his relationship with O'Carolan (did O'Kane commission the piece?) , please let me know. All the best.
