CAROLAN'S RAMBLE TO CASHEL. Irish, (Moderate or slow) Air (3/4 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). The Rocks of Cashel was the site of an ancient Irish fortress upon which was later built a large cathedral to which many made pilgrimage. O'Sullivan (1958) points out, however, that there are a score of places in Ireland named Cashel, including one in County Roscommon that must have been locally familiar to O'Carolan.
Additional notes Source for notated version : - the Pigot manuscript [O'Sullivan]. The tune is in 6/8 time in Pigot's original ms. "Inferior" versions are to be found in the manuscripts of cleric wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist) (vol. 2, p. 170)[1] and in Joyce's 1909 volume.
