about

slow air & harp tune: The Banks of the Moy/Kitty Magennis

Michel: tin whistle

Robin: guitars

“The Banks of the Moy” comes from the singing of Treasa Ní Cheanni, heard on Popular Traditional Songs, a cassette released a long time ago by CCE. Interestingly enough, Robin knew an almost identical melody from the singing of Doc Watson, who called it “Wake Up Little Maggie”! “Kitty Magennis,” a seldom-heard composition of the blind harper Turlough O’Carolan (1670-1738), appears in volume one of Donal O’Sullivan’s Carolan: The Life, Times and Music of an Irish Harper, under the section Tunes for Patrons. This track is dedicated to harp player Katrien Delavier, a great friend who sadly died much too young. - MS
