Si Bhaeg Si Mhor. Traditional Irish Tune Played By Peter Jackson

Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór is a traditional Irish folk tune. The tune is usually attributed to blind harpist and singer Turlough O'Carolan (1670 – 1738) as his first song, written to the tune of "The Bonnie Cuckoo".

One author describes it as a "beautiful old Irish air, usually played simply and leisurely, and occasionally played as a waltz". Sí Mór (Sheemore) and Sí Beag (Sheebeg) are the names given to two small hills, situated close to each other in south County Leitrim, said to be ancient burial sites.

This is my own arrangement of the tune, which I then played at home and recorded on my phone. So it's typically 'lo-fi', which I like. I think you can even hear my chair creaking at some point!
