About this tune
Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór is a harp air associated with Turlough O’Carolan. Its title refers to two fairy hills in County Leitrim and the stories surrounding them.
Long notes and a gentle three-beat movement frame two contrasting parts. The second part reaches much higher before returning to the calm D-major cadence.
