In this edition, Guido Böger provides 72 further compositions by the legendary Irish harpist Turlough O’Carolan, arranged for classical guitar.  These solo pieces are generally of intermediate difficulty, and convey the beautiful, lyrical qualities of the original tunes.  This expanded selection of the melodies has not been organized into any set of themes or forms;  however, along with his Turlough O’Carolan Irish Harp Pieces for Classical Guitar, O’Carolan’s Laments have now been arranged in their entirety.  These pieces will provide the guitarist with a wonderful collection of new and fascinating pieces for use in study, concerts, or for your musical pleasure.
