Anna Thormahlen Jenkins: a few of my songs...
Eleanor Plunkett
(Anna Thormahlen Jenkins)
Turlough O'Carolan/arr. Laurie Riley 1999
This is possibly the most loved of all Turlough O'Carolan's slow aires. In Laurie and Beth's book, it is titled Celtic Meditation. It works well during a wedding ceremony if there is a symbolic event in the service such as candle lighting or communion. I like this arrangement for its harmonies and simplicity. I have also played a faster version as a recessional when requested.
