Carolan's Cap
Composed by the blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan, Carolan's Cap is a traditional tune with an uncertain exact date of origin. Written in 2/4 meter and the key of G mixolydian, it features the lively rhythm and bright character typical of a polka. While specific historical associations for the piece are not well established, it remains a celebrated part of O'Carolan's surviving instrumental legacy.
