Eleanor Plunkett is a graceful and sorrowful piece composed by the blind Irish harper and bard Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738).
It is said to have been written in honor of Miss Eleanor Plunkett, a lady of the Plunkett family, possibly as an elegy reflecting the decline or misfortune of her household.
Among O'Carolan's works, this melody stands out for its delicate, lyrical beauty and remains a favorite among traditional musicians today, often performed on harp, flute, or whistle.
