Carolan's Dance
Irish Harp Music
Áine’s new single, entitled “Carolan’s Dance,” - from an upcoming album of harp music - is now available on all your favorite downloading and streaming services.
"Carolan's Dance," the title track, is an upbeat duet with Áine's longtime collaborator, Eugene Friesen, on cello. According to Áine, “this is among my favorite O’Carolan compositions and is a wonderful opportunity to play with my musical hero, as well as let loose and have fun on a piece that truly expresses O'Carolan's vitality and gift for melody!"
The full album compilation of O'Carolan compositions featuring Áine's harp playing with guest musicians will be released on April 24, 2020.
The album is a tribute to the 18th century Irish harper and composer will be a tribute to Turlough O’Carolan who wrote exclusive for Irish harp. Four of the tracks have been newly recorded, eight are compiled from album tracks previously recorded by Áine, and one track “Second Sight” was written as a tribute to the composer who was blinded by smallpox at the age of eighteen.
