Music From New Bag End

Falling into two parts, the first half of this album is from what might be called the classical music world, that is, music written by well-known European composers like Bach and Handel, arranged for two instruments tuned a fourth apart, plus music written or arranged specifically for the cetra and published in the second half of the eighteenth century, including two works by Johann Christian Bach. The second part is music by Turlough Ó Carolan and that ilk, again arranged for two instruments tuned a fourth apart. These longer pieces are separated by one each of John Parry’s Twelve Airs for the Guittar, which receives its premier recording here.
