about

This tune first appeared in the William Forde Manuscripts (1845), with no title. Later, the tune appeared in "Old Irish Folk Music and Songs" (1909) by Patrick Weston Joyce, with the title "Cape Clear".
I first learnt this tune from double bass player Olly Blanchflower. We played it as a duo for cello and bass, which inspired me to give the repeat of the air the lowest accompaniment notes possible!
CAPE CLEAR Oileán Chléire, is Ireland’s southernmost inhabited island, eight miles off the coast of County Cork. It is three miles long by a mile wide and features spectacular landscape, cliffs and views. The island is rich in history with Megalithic standing stones, a 5000 year-old passage grave, and a ruined church dating from the 12th century. The 14th century O’Driscoll castle was cannonaded in the early 1600’s but still remains. The patron of the island is Saint Ciarán, allegedly the earliest of Ireland’s four pre-Patrician saints. There is no history of music from the Island, but there are plenty of wild sessions going on there in the pubs!
