Connor O'Reilly

Barndance · 4/4 · A minor

Connor O'Reilly is a traditional Irish barndance composed in 4/4 meter by the blind harpist and composer Turlough O'Carolan. The tune is set in A minor and possesses a lively yet lyrical character typical of eighteenth-century harp music adapted for the fiddle and other instruments. Because the exact details of its historical associations are uncertain, performers generally approach the piece with a rhythmic, dance-oriented style suited to its energetic phrasing.
