William Ward
William Ward is a traditional Irish jig composed in the eighteenth century by the blind harpist Turlough O'Carolan. Written in 6/8 meter and A Dorian mode, the tune features the characteristic lyrical yet lively melodic contours typical of its composer's celebrated body of work. While specific historical associations or details regarding the dedication to William Ward remain largely unrecorded, the piece is securely preserved within standard collections of O'Carolan's harp repertoire.
