NOTE:
"Coda" is my suggested way of bringing to a conclusion a tune that (1) is circular in construction (2) doesn't end on the tonic note. It's not part of the tune and its use is optional.

N:N: A lovely piece of music of which I know not much besides the fact of 
N:its having been recorded by Jerry O'Sullivan in 2010. If it isn't a Carolan 
N:composition, it may well be an O'Farrell original.
