O’Carolan for Classical Guitar is the fourth and final volume of Guido Böger’s classical guitar arrangements of the 214 compositions of the itinerant blind Irish harper, Turlough O'Carolan (1670–1738). This last collection includes 58 solo pieces, including O’Carolan’s variations on two Scottish airs. These settings are generally intermediate in difficulty and reflect the beauty and lyricism of the original melodies, most of which are tribute tunes named for O’Carolan’s patrons: Colonel O’Hara, John O’Connor, Mrs. O’Connor, Lady Wrixon, General Wynne, Captain O’Neil, The Landlady, etc. The works are meticulously written in standard notation and are ideal for sight-reading practice, personal enjoyment, or concert performance. Moderate left-hand fingering and string numbering are provided in these well-crafted arrangements. Along with his previous Mel Bay editions, Turlough O'Carolan Irish Harp Pieces for Classical Guitar, O'Carolan Favorites and O'Carolan Airs, this book completes Guido Böger's comprehensive O'Carolan series. The set of four books would make a great gift, particularly for an Irish guitarist.

Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) was the most famous Irish composer of his time. His memorable melodies, influenced both by European classical music and by ancient Gaelic harp traditions, have remained popular through the centuries, and lend themselves especially well to fingerstyle guitar. The arrangements in this volume are of intermediate difficulty and are a pleasure to play for guitarists of almost any skill level. There are a few well-known tunes here, but most of the arrangements are O'Carolan 's lesser known works, though they rank with his best music.

Author Steve Marsh has spent many years playing guitar in the folk clubs of the United Kingdom where Irish music is in abundance. This collection draws from his extensive collection of original arrangements of traditional tunes. the songs vary in style and can be grouped into sets for use in a recital program. Many of the folk songs have been handed down from generation to generation so several versions of a song may exist. Therefore, the author has taken a few liberties with the tempo and rhythmic structures of a limited number of tunes in this collection. In general, the pieces in this album range from moderate standard to difficult. In standard notation only.
