Planxty Charles Coote
Planxty Charles Coote is a traditional Irish tune composed in the early eighteenth century by the blind harpist Turlough O'Carolan in honor of his patron, Charles Coote of County Cavan. Although cataloged as a reel, O'Carolan's planxties characteristically blend the spirited rhythmic drive of traditional dance music with the ornate, lyrical qualities of contemporary baroque art music. Historical records confirm that O'Carolan maintained close ties with the Anglo-Irish gentry of Ulster, frequently composing customized musical tributes for prominent local families.
