Rhythm: tune
Key: G
Meter: C
Book: Joyce, P. W.; "Old Irish Folk Music and Songs"
History: When I learned tihs tune from the singing of my grandmother, about 1850,
she was then 90 years of age: and she told me that she learned it by hearing
it played on the violin by her grandmother. There is a setting in
Stanford-Petrie: but the version I give here is considerably different, and
is, I think, much finer. This was a "Piece", i.e., an instrumental tune
somewhat longer and more elaborate than the ordinary 2- or 3-Part airs.
