377a-Sound Portrait Irish Celebration of Harpist Turlough O'Carolan.   Today's presentation features solo oboe performing O'Carolan's melodies. 

Just the facts from the Encyclopaedia Britannica: Turlough O'Carolan, also called Terence Carolan (born 1670, near Nobber, County Meath, Ireland, died March 25th, 1738, Alderford, County Roscommon), one of the last Irish harpist-composers and the only one whose songs survive in both words and music in significant number (about 220 of provable provenance are extant with an uncounted number apocryphally attributed).  The son of an iron founder, O'Carolan became blind from smallpox at the age of 18. He was befriended by a Mrs. MacDermott-Roe, the wife of his father's employer, who apprenticed him to a harper and supported him for the three years of his training, then gave him money, a guide, and a horse. As an itinerant harper, he traveled widely in Ireland. Although never considered a master performer, he was highly regarded as a composer of songs and improvised verse. His tunes appeared widely in 18th-century collections.

398 - Be My Love Valentine Celebration with Martha Pineno.  LOVE -- sight, sound, senses -- and sentences -- 

"Be My Love" is a popular song with lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Nicholas Brodszky.  It was written for Mario Lanza, who sang it with Kathryn Grayson in the 1950 movie The Toast of New Orleans.  

This is a tribute to the love of our family connections throughout life that carry on beyond the feelings.
