William Connellan, born in Cloonamahon, County Sligo, fl. mid-17th century. Connellan was a harper, who may or may not have composed the tune ''Caoineach Luimnigh'' (the lament for Limerick). He was well known in Scotland, where he travelled extensively. There his version of ''Luimnigh'' became ''Lochabar No More.'' He is also credited with ''Love's A Tormenting Pain'', and probably ''Killiecrankie''. His brother was the composer Thomas Connellan. Arthur O'Neill (1734-1818) refers to William in his memoirs: * ''I heard much of his brother William Connellan, who was a famous harper and a fine composer. He died in the county of Waterford.'' ==References== * ''The Harpers Connellan:Irish Music of the late 17th century - The life and times of the Sligo harpers William and Thomas Connellan'', Kathleen Loughnane, 2009, ISMN 979 0 9002013 3 1. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Connellan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
