This is an improvisation on the chords of Irish folk tune Sheebeg and Sheemore by Turlough O’Carolan.
Notes from Rick Alexander:
“Daniel Nistico and I recorded this the afternoon we recorded Sheebeg and Sheemore. Daniel first plays part of O’Carolan’s melody from my arrangement of Sheebeg and Sheemore. Then, from 30 seconds through to the end, Daniel and I take turns improvising melody lines.
Sheebeg and Sheemore are actual hills in Ireland so when the name “Finding Sheemore” came to me I thought it fitted the piece!”
Composed by Turlough O’Carolan, Rick Alexander and Daniel Nistico.
Guitars: Rick – Jim Redgate double top 2016. Daniel – Roger Li lattice 2019.
