Captain O'Kane

Waltz · 3/4 · G minor

Captain O'Kane is a traditional Irish tune published in the late eighteenth century by the collector Edward Bunting, who attributed it to the blind harper Turlough O'Carolan. Written in 3/4 time and the key of G minor, the waltz features a graceful, flowing melody with a reflective and poignant character well suited for traditional instrumental performance. Because definitive historical records from O'Carolan's lifetime are scarce, the exact date of composition remains uncertain, yet the piece endures as a celebrated staple of the Celtic repertoire.
