Miss Murphy (Turlough O'Carolan, Ireland)
kenkolodnerDigging deeper into the O’Carolan well reveals many lesser known but beautiful gems. Miss Murphy’s should be at the top of the list. The A part is immediately captivating, accessible and satisfying. The B part is twisty and takes unexpected turns typical of O’Carolan necessitating a phrase by phrase digestion! Left hand lead allows us to add some nice bass lines. I present an accompaniment and lots of arranging ideas.
