Carolan's Receipt

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Carolan's Receipt is a traditional Irish tune composed by the blind harper Turlough O'Carolan during the early eighteenth century. Despite being classified today as a reel in 4/4 meter and G major, the piece was originally written for the wire-strung Irish harp. The music features a lively, graceful, and flowing character that reflects O'Carolan's distinctive synthesis of traditional Gaelic modal styles and contemporary Baroque influences.
