about

Another O’Carolan air, this was a lament for Captain O’Kane, ‘hero of a hundred fights, from Landon to Oudenarde, who, when old and war-worn, tottered back from the Low Countries to his birthplace to die, and found himself…an outlawed, disinherited, homeless wanderer in the ancient territory that his fathers ruled as Lords of Limavady’ (O’Neill, Music of Ireland: Eighteen Hundred and Fifty Melodies, 1903).
A viola unearthed for this track turned out to be one string down on recording day. But worse things happen at sea, and the constraint of three strings proved just right for the sparse harmonies we wanted.
