Back to Carolan's Dream
CAROLAN'S DREAM. AKA and see "Maud O'Dowd," "Molly MacAlpin," "Molly Halfpenny," "O'Carolan's Farewell to Music." Irish, Air. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune has been attributed by some to blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), although Donal O'Sullivan (1958) says that it was actually composed by William Connellan , "on the authority of the old harpers." O'Sullivan states that it was a favorite of O'Carol'an's and that it may have been adapted by him somewhat. The "Carolan's Farewell to Music" title is an incorrect one, found with the tune in Thomas Mooney's History of Ireland (Boston, 1846, vol. 1, p. 75) and copied by Francis O'Neill into his Music of Ireland (1903, No. 700).
