===================================================

folder index

===================================================

This is a poorly-edited collection of music that appears to consist primarily of song settings. Some of these are fairly well-known but the majority are not, and the fact that the drafting is so poor doesn't help. This is the only collection I have run across where the editor's name is misspelled in some of the tune titles ("O Flanngin" for "O;Flannagan)!

The title page says this collection contains 200 tunes. It doesn't - Index shows 157, of which two are missing from the body of the collection.

As with most 19th century tune collections, the Hibernia Collection rarely provides either the type of tune or a tempo. What you see in the following are mostly "educated guesses" on my part, but there's no guarantee that what I call a polka isn't something else. If you're not happy with my ideas, you can always change the file parameters to suit yourself.

===================================================

List of omitted tunes at end of file.

N:Kind of an odd little tune that I haven't found
anywhere else. (Note the key change in the third part, which
actually sounds like it belongs to another tune!) With all the 
quarter notes, I thought it might make an interesting hornpipe, 
but you could also play it as a march or maybe even a polka.
