Tá mé ‘mo chodhladh – I Am Asleep
Another song captured by Mr. Bunting from harpers at the Belfast Harpers Meeting. Though a very similar version was transcribed from the playing of Dennis O’Hampsey, this elegant version was taken down from the playing of Hugh Higgins. It appears to be a variant of a Jacobite song popular in both Ireland and Scotland. I arranged this from notation in Bunting’s field notebook MS 29 from Belfast.
