-'''O'CAROLAN'S FAREWELL''' (Ceileabrad Uí Cearballain). Irish, Air or Planxty (4/4 time, "with feeling"). G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). O'Neill (1913) relates that O'Carolan never got over the death of his wife in 1733, and that when he realized that he too was deteriorating, "he commemorated his final departure from the hospitable home of his great friend, Robert Maguire of Tempo, County Fermanagh," with this melody. The air appears in Mooney's '''History of Ireland''' (1847).
