アイルランドの伝説的な盲目のハープ奏者で作曲家でもあるターロック・オキャロラン(Turlough O’Carolan)の有名な曲のひとつエレナー・プランケット(Eleanor Plunkett)をティンホイッスル(Tin Whistle)とピアノでカバー。
メロディーの一部やコード進行を現代的にし、曲のもつ叙情感が印象的になるようにアレンジしました。
ティンホイッスルならではの独特な奏法や音色はまるで中世ヨーロッパの風景にいるような感覚になります。
オキャロランがハープを奏でていた時代と現代が時を超えて音楽でつながることが不思議な感覚です。
Eleanor Plunkett(only backing piano)はピアノだけのバージョン
ティンホイッスル(D管)や同じようなキーの楽器を演奏できる方はピアノに合わせて演奏してみてください。
もしよろしければ曲を購入してもらえるとすごく励みになります。

I've covered one of the famous compositions by the legendary blind harpist and composer from Ireland, Turlough O’Carolan – "Eleanor Plunkett," using the tin whistle and piano.
I've modernized certain parts of the melody and chord progressions while retaining the song's inherent lyricism, resulting in a distinct arrangement. The unique playing technique and timbre of the tin whistle transport you to a setting reminiscent of medieval Europe.
It's a fascinating sensation, bridging the gap between O'Carolan's era when he played the harp and the contemporary world through the medium of music, connecting across time.
The version of "Eleanor Plunkett" featuring only the backing piano is now available.
If you are skilled in playing instruments like the D whistle or similar ones in the same key, I encourage you to try playing along with the piano.
If you're inclined, purchasing the track would be greatly appreciated and serves as a tremendous source of motivation for me. Thank you.
