Eleanor Plunkett
Composed by the blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan, Eleanor Plunkett is a traditional waltz set in the key of D major. The piece features a graceful 3/4 meter that reflects the elegant and lyrical style characteristic of O'Carolan's polite music for the 18th-century Irish gentry. Although specific historical details regarding the dedicatee are uncertain, the tune remains a celebrated standard in the traditional repertoire for its gentle melodic charm.
