Carolan’s Concerto (3-5 octaves handbells)

CAROLAN’S CONCERTO (Dance With Joy/Lift Your Hearts In Praise) – Turlough O’Carolan/arr. Kevin McChesney – 3-5 octaves handbells – Level II

Turlough O’Carolan (1670-1738) is one of the most widely played Irish composers; his compositions are a part of the heartbeat of Irish music and this is the best-known of his works. This makes a lively concert offering, and can be used in worship using the alternate titles given or your own title. This is music that echoes in the ears of your listeners long after you have finished playing. A true classic.
