James Betagh
Composed by the blind harpist Turlough O'Carolan, James Betagh is an Irish tune typically associated with the eighteenth-century titular clergyman and Jesuit. Set in D major and played in 4/4 meter, it functions primarily as a lively reel with a distinct baroque-influenced melody. The piece reflects O'Carolan's unique ability to blend traditional Irish musical idioms with the continental European classical styles popular during his lifetime.
