What the available scores show

The available Blind Mary scores are not identical. One is explicitly titled a guitar arrangement and lists Guitar as its part. Another credits Turlough O'Carolan (1670–1738) and opens in D major at 60 BPM. A third has no composer credit, no key signature, and lists a single part called Part_1. These details describe individual scores rather than proving one definitive version of Blind Mary.

Choosing between available versions

For guitar, the score titled Blind Mary guitar arrangement is the clearest starting point because it names the instrument. The score with Part_1 may be useful for a single-line version, but that label alone does not confirm clef, range or intended instrument. Compare the opening key, time signature and tempo rather than assuming all Blind Mary scores are interchangeable.

Attribution and evidence

Two available scores credit Blind Mary to Turlough O'Carolan, while a third carries no composer credit. The attribution should be treated as a score credit rather than a fully verified historical fact, because no supporting reference is supplied here. Original instrumentation, key and performance speed are likewise not established by the available information.

Reading the opening details

All three available Blind Mary scores open in 2/4 time. Two use a key signature of two sharps, identified in one score as D major; the third has no sharps or flats. Opening tempos are listed as 120 BPM, 60 BPM and 120 BPM. These are score-specific starting indications and may reflect arrangement or editorial choices rather than a definitive tempo for the piece.

Common questions

Who is credited with composing Blind Mary?

Two available scores credit Blind Mary to Turlough O'Carolan (1670–1738); a third carries no composer credit. No supporting reference is supplied here, so the attribution is best treated as a score credit rather than a verified historical fact.

What instrument is Blind Mary arranged for in the available scores?

One score is titled Blind Mary guitar arrangement and lists Guitar as its part. Another lists only Part_1, and a third lists no parts, so the available scores do not establish a single standard instrumentation for Blind Mary.

What key and time signature do the available Blind Mary scores use?

The available Blind Mary scores open in 2/4 time. Two have a key signature of two sharps, identified in one score as D major; another has no sharps or flats. These are opening details for individual arrangements, not proof of an original key.

How do the tempos differ between the available Blind Mary scores?

Opening tempos are listed as 120 BPM, 60 BPM and 120 BPM across the three scores. Those markings describe individual scores and may reflect arrangement or editorial choices rather than a definitive performance speed.

Is there a guitar version of Blind Mary?

A score titled Blind Mary guitar arrangement lists a single Guitar part, so at least one guitar version is represented. The other available scores do not specify guitar, and the information here does not show whether they are intended for guitar or another instrument.

Do the scores indicate how difficult Blind Mary is?

Difficulty grades are not supplied for the available Blind Mary scores, so a beginner or grade level cannot be confirmed from the details here. Players comparing versions can look at instrumentation, key, time signature and tempo, though those details alone do not establish how easy a score is to play.
