As many of you will know, Dónal has been entertaining us for the past couple of weeks on Facebook with a Daily Tune. He’s very kindly uploaded them to YouTube so we can enjoy them whenever we need cheering up. Thanks, Dónal! Here are the tunes so far, in no particular order:
Tune of the Day number 6 is Fanny Power. This tune was written in the early 1700s by the Great Irish Harpist Turlough O’Carolan for the daughter of his benefactors, her name was Frances Power
Tune of the Day number 8, Tabhair dom do Lámh (Give me your hand), was written by a musician by the name of Ruairi Dáll Ó’Catháin (1570-1650).
