Composed by Ireland's National Composer, Turlough O'Carolan (1670 - 1738), performed by the Angel Band. Grace Nugent was the fifth and youngest daughter of James Nugent of Castle Nugent, Coolamber, County Westmeath. Carolan composed this piece, along with four others, to honor members of the Nugent family. These extremely generous patrons lavishly supported Carolan as he stayed with them at Castle Nugent during the years 1720 and 1721.

This is one of these Carolan tunes that sounds more difficult than it is. The trick part is in the turn (the 2nd part or "B" part) where there's a drop of over an octave. The good news is the drop is to an open string (Bb).
