Carolan's Dream

Composed by the blind Irish harper, Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738).
Just a simple arrangement of this very beautiful Irish tune that has been a favourite of mine for many years. I've missed playing traditional music.
A huge thank you to my patrons Nathaniel, Waleed, Ine, Loic, Lkoinw and Thomas for their generous support! You make my life a little easier and give me so much motivation!
A shout out also to all my new patrons - I hope I can live up to your expectations ^_^

This beautiful harp melody from about 500 years ago sounds like led zeppelin 70's hit stairway to heaven...

[@juancarloscaracciolo5359]

Page stole it.... without doubt!

[@rolandopacheco8241]

Damn right...

[@jonheart5415]

Led Zeppelin plagió mucho.

[@nthdegree1269]

It's more beautiful a melody than even Stairway. These composers from way back are geniuses

[@camilorodriguez5560]

Always I come this channel I get happier.

[@BrannaLaurelin]

I'm glad to hear that ^_^

[@philipbrowning3544]

A very beautiful tune, made all the more so by a performance that feels anything but simple with the depth of feeling that it evokes!

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much for being so kind ^_^

[@emilyosullivan6770]

Beautiful.

I love this music, and it is so beautiful.

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much! :)

[@hisashihashimoto745]

Such a beautiful melody! This video gave me motivation to look for other Irish music. Thank you!

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much! Glad I could inspire :)

[@chrispatrickcarolan856]

This is absolutely beautiful! I've been listening to a lot of recordings of his compositions lately, and this is one of the best I"ve come across. Spellbinding!

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much ^_^

[@juanmartinreborati7928]

No wonder I like led zeppelin so much, they have great roots. Beautiful interpretation.Thanks!

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you!

[@raven-zk4wu]

wow beautiful tune

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you!

[@Mindstonegames]

I'm learning to play this again as part of a ceilidh band's slow dance routine! Sometimes, a straightforward arrangement is exactly what is needed to get to the essence of the song. Will be visiting your version many times - thank you for playing so :) A princess of the fey would be blessed to have such strains as this played in her halls!

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you very much! How very sweet of you! I'm happy you like my version ^_^

Great performance. I feel so relaxed when listening to your music :) It has something natural and peaceful. A delight for the ears ! Thank you very much

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much! How nice to hear that ^_^

[@Retired1958]

Very Beautiful Branna ,Your So Talented :>)

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you very much :)

[@frederickgoehringer60]

You and your music are beautiful, Yep! keep at!

[@jfbrko290]

Beautiful! Makes me feel like I'm sitting in a King's court during festivities or something.

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much! I'm happy I was able to invoke such a feeling ^_^

[@jfbrko290]

Branna Laurelin definitely worthy of a cup of mead! Then again i think I've felt that way about most of your traditional\medieval type cover harp videos. Have you any plans to do more harp covers of European folk songs at all?

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you :) I don't have any folk songs on my to-do-list at the moment, but probably sometime in the future!

[@Duhemsounds]

This has a beautiful melody

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you :)

[@alftupper8046]

Ah the one and only O'Carolan, magic!

[@BrannaLaurelin]

You can never go wrong with O'Carolan :D

[@RedRose-kj3dz]

Quite lovely

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much!

[@manueljoseletelier4973]

[@nomercy1407]

From Italy, I love you!

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you!

[@kathrynadkisson8964]

I feel like I know the actual lyrics, but I guess I just heard something similar to this a long time ago. Now that I think about, I wish I knew what that was. Beautiful piece by the way, love your music

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Maybe? I don't know, but someone might have put words to this melody :) Thank you very much!

[@Nev182mang]

Beautiful performance

Ææh, du får det til å høres ut som vi aldri kommer til å treffes igjen! Huff, ånei, håper ikke det er tilfellet!

[@PhilippeBarrilliez]

Hi Branna, Your interprétation of this music is really nice. Congratulations. Musically Phil

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you very much!

[@christinewallace2478]

Very nice💕

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you ^_^

[@SoulPotion]

We miss you, Branna :') When is a new video coming, hm? (Oh, by the way, look at my channel's recommended tab at the right corner of the screen, you'll see your channel as the first, heheh)

[@BrannaLaurelin]

That's nice of you ^_^ I have been, as always, very busy, so my videos always take a lot of time to make. I am, however, working on something new for you guys now - hopefully it will be out within a couple of months!

[@SoulPotion]

Branna Laurelin This is awesome! :D Thanks for the answer

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much :)

[@FlashBreakerOfficial]

just

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Awww thanks ^_^

[@SoulPotion]

Hey, Branna, can I use a bit of your music in some of my videos? ^^ (I'll recommend you and your channel.) And what do you think of The Ballad of the Wind Fish, hm?

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Hello! Yes, as long as you give proper credit and link to original video, you can use the music :) I love the Ballad of the Wind Fish, but it's not on my list of songs to do at the moment - maybe in the future!

[@charliefoo446]

This is so soothing and mesmerizing.... If you could play Saint Seiya Abel's Theme, that would be so wonderful.. Just a thought :)

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you so much! Sorry, I don't do requests except as Patreon rewards! ^_^

[@sallymorris5633]

Is that beautiful harp one of Wm Webster's?

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Yes it is! I'm very fortunate to have it.

[@ivanmaguina4974]

[@streamvideo2437]

Очень красиво! Жаль редко выходит что-то на канале :(

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you! But what do you mean, something goes wrong?

[@streamvideo2437]

No, it's okay, I wanted to say sorry that the video rarely go, I would often just :) (the Google translator)

[@swang30]

Sorry for the stupid question, is it Carolan's Dream or O'Carolan's Dream? I've seen it listed as both, and the harper's name is O'Carolan.

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Usually with his songs I almost always see them listed without the O'... Like Carolan's Dream, Carolan's Concerto, Carolan's Farewell to Music, Carolan's Cottage, Carolan's Quarrel with the Landlady. I don't know if he himself named them that way, but I think it is likely because it rings better. His name was O'Carolan - actually Ó Cearbhallain - but Carolan is still his last name (the Ó is just an article denoting his ancestry - he is descended from someone named Cearbhallain, or this might be a family name. Sorry I know too much about Irish names as I have a degree in the Irish language xD

[@alftupper8046]

You have a degree in Irish?? That's pretty unusual for a Norwegian! I have Irish relatives :)

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Yeah, it really is unusual! There's only a handful of us, and we're all educated by the same professor haha. But it was a really fun education, even though it wasn't really useful career-wise.

[@paulduffy4585]

To be fair to Led Zeppelin, Carolan himself ripped this off from the fairy folk.

[@CANAVIS20]

Who press dislike?

[@lulu_B]

Doesn't this sound like something from like an elf village or something? Who else agrees?

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Thank you! ^_^

[@viniciusrocha7125]

Hi. Love your channel. In case you are taking requests, please record To Zanarkand from FFX or anything from Chrono Trigger. =)

[@BrannaLaurelin]

Hi! Thank you so much :) I don't take requests as such, but those songs are on my to-do list anyway, so you'll get your wish at some point!

[@viniciusrocha7125]

Great! If you want, I'd be glad to give you suggestions of which Chrono Trigger (and Cross) songs would sound great in harp. Congrats again for your art. :)
