When Irish Music came in my life, in 1976, I was very young. I've played, studied and loved many different genres of music and traditions... but Irish and Scottish Traditional Music remain inside me. So I decided to publish this album of my favorite tunes, which I recorded along the last 20 years. They're all instrumentals. All compositions are traditional or composed by Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) and by Rory Dall O'Cathain (late 16th-early 17th century). All music arranged and played by Marco Giaccaria. Instruments: flutes, whistles, recorders, bansouri, violin, viola, mandola, bouzouki, guitars, bass and sampled percussions. Cover photo: Saint James' Chapel, Cumiana. Recorded and mixed by Marco Giaccaria (between september 1994 and september 2014). Produced by Marco Giaccaria for Musica Mancina. For further info visit my sites. 1. The Blacksmith 2.
