about

"Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór," was probably the very first composition of the great blind harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670 -1738), composed at the house of his first patron, Squire George Reynolds of Lough Scur at Letterfain, Co. Leitrim. Sí Bheag and Sí Mhór were two ranges of hills near Lough Scur, which were the scene of a great battle, in which Finn McCool and his Fianna were defeated.

Dream was composed by John Cage in 1948.

"This work was originally used as music for the eponymous choreographed piece by Merce Cunningham, following the rhythmic structure of the dance and using a fixed gamut of tones. Throughout, resonances are sustained. The music is essentially a single melodic line, except for the last few bars." - johncage.org

This version is from a transcription for guitar by the fantastic Italian guitarist, Giulia Ballaré.
