His memorable melodies, influenced both by European classical music and by ancient Gaelic harp traditions, have remained popular through the centuries, and lend themselves especially well to fingerstyle guitar. the arrangements in this volume are of intermediate difficulty and are a pleasure to play for guitarists of almost any skill level. There are a few well-known tunes here, but most of the arrangements are O'Carolan 's lesser known works, though they rank with his best music.
