Dusty Thorburn: "Carolan�s Concerto: a unique and attainable challenge" (Friday, Session 8, Mountain Dulcimer, Intermediate Advanced)
Most dulcimer players are familiar with the compositions of the blind Irish harper Turlough O�Carolan (1670-1738). This workshop teaches an arrangement of one of his more challenging pieces known as �Mrs. Powers� or, more frequently �Carolan�s Concerto.� The tune tests us with much longer phrasing than most O�Carolan tunes, but we will not be deterred and will break the composition into manageable chunks before putting it all together. (Dad tuning)
