about

King of the Blind
Trad irlandais du 18e siècle, arr. Kate Bevan-Baker

Kate a trouvé cette pièce dans la première collection de mélodies irlandaises publiée en 1724: John & William Neal's Collection of the Most Celebrated Irish Tunes. La plupart des mélodies de cette collection étaient composées pour la harpe, qui était alors l’instrument le plus populaire de l'Irlande. Le titre émane peut-être du fait que plusieurs harpistes irlandais étaient aveugles et se croyaient dotés d’un grand talent.

Kate found this tune in the first published collection of Irish melodies: John & William Neal’s Collection of the Most Celebrated Irish Tunes (1724). Most of the melodies in this collection were composed for the harp, the most popular instrument in Ireland at the time. Many Irish harpers were blind and believed to possess great talent, which is likely where the title of this tune comes from.
