The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
from Compositions by Brenda Castles
Planxty Gorman was composed for the beekeeper, Paddy Gorman, who so kindly helped us and allowed us access to his beautiful apiary. The tune was inspired by many of the compositions of Ed Reavy which often span several octaves-this tune spans two and a half octaves. It was also of course inspired by Co. Meath’s own Turlough O’Carolan.
