====================================================================
The commentary in quotations following some tunes is Chief O'Neill's. 
In other places the comments seems to be from some source other than
the Chief himself. The text blocks are non-printing.

Comments in the H:H:  field are mine unless noted otherwise. 

The original ABC transcriptions are by Paul Kinder (2000) and the files 
were maintained by John Chambers. Thanks to both of them!

====================================================================
MATERIAL NOT INCLUDED:

Some tunes included in WSGM have not been included in this file
because they occur elsewhere. A list of these duplicate tunes is
here.

The non-dance material (airs, songs, most marches, etc.) omitted from 
this file can be found in folder 58-misc.

"Vying in popularity with 'Turkey in the Straw', another American
favorite claims our affection. Famous in song and story, its origin
has baffled investigation. An exhaustive research conducted by
Dr. H.C. Mercer, an official of Bucks County Historical Society
(Doylestown, Pa) relating to its history and antecedants failed of
its purpose. All lines of inquiry extending to Kentucky, Arkansas,
and Louisiana, ended in contradiction and uncertainty. Furthermore,
the quaint dialogue between the 'Traveler' and the backwoods
fiddler was based on nothing more substantial than a fertile
imagination. The opening paragraph of Dr. Mercer's essay 'On the 
track of the Arkansas Traveler', published in the Century Magazine, is
well worth quoting:
       'Sometime about the year 1850 the American musical myth
        known as 'The Arkansas Traveler' came into vogue among
        fiddlers. It is a quick reel tune with a backwoods story
        talked to it while played, that caught the ear at sideshows
        and circuses, and sounded over the trodden turf of fair
        grounds. Bands and foreign-bred musicians were above
        noticing it, but the people loved it, and kept time to it,
        while tramps and sailors carried it across the seas to vie
        merrily in Irish cabins with 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley'
        and'The Soldier's Joy'.
Though classed as a reel, the tune as printed with Dr. Mercer's clever
essay and elsewhere, is scored as a Buckdance, and in a key much
too low for certain instruments. The editor who is responsible for the
setting above presented ventures to suggest that like 'Old Zip Coon'
or 'Turkey in the Straw', 'The Arkansas Traveler' had been evolved
from a venerable Irish strain by some backwoods fiddler whose identity
is lost in the oblivion which engulfed the composers of the multitude
of Irish melodies that have survived many influences inimical to their
preservation."

"Not less popular than 'Johnny I hardly knew ye' in the North was 
'The Bonnie Blue Flag', the Southern National Air, which was to the 
boys in grey what 'Yankee Doodle' was to the boys in blue. In Adair 
Fitzgerald's 'Famous Songs' we are told the words of 'The Bonnie Blue 
Flag' were written in 1862 by Mrs. Annie Chambers Ketchum to an Irish 
melody adapted or composed by Henry McCarthy. After a fruitless search 
in several old time collections for the now very rare strain it is 
presented as noted from the author's memory."

"When first received with a batch of fine tunes noted down by our
unselfish friend Francis E. Walsh from the playing of clever San
Francisco musicians, the foregoing reel under a slightly different
name was recognized as a variant of 'Rakish Paddy' previously
printed in The Music of Ireland, and O'Neill's 'Dance Music of
Ireland'. Another variant named 'Sporting Pat' is to be found in
O'Neill's 'Irish Music for Piano or Violin'. Under the circumstances,
another variant seemed superfluous, but coming from such a
famous fiddler as John Kelly of Roscommon, it has been cheerfully
welcomed to our pages.

A favorite with all capable pipers and fiddlers of our acquaintance
for many years, the tune under any of its recognized names does
not appear in the Bunting, Petrie or Joyce publications. As
'Caper Fey' it was printed in Bremner's 'Second Collection of Scots
Reels or Country Dances', London 1768; yet omitted from 'The Glen
Collection of Scottish Dance Music', Edinburgh 1891.

Most Highland Bagpipe note books include a suitable setting of the
tune under the correct title as above, in Gaelic and English."

"'Col. McBain's Reel' first appeared in print in Bremner's '2nd
Collection of Scots Reels, or Country Dances', London 1768,
and reprinted in McGoun's 'Repository of Scots and Irish;
Strathspeys, Reels, etc.', Glasgow 1803. Its popularity was not
confined to Scotland for we find it named 'Duke of Clarence Reel'
in Lavenu's 'New Country Dances for the Year 1798', published at
London. A setting of this noted reel as played by the experts of the
Irish Music Club of Chicago may be found on page 116 of O'Neill's
'Dance Music of Ireland'.
In composition and fluency of rhythm the variant above presented
compares very favorably with the original especially when given
expression on the fiddle in the inimitable style of the genial
Paddy Stack from whom the manuscript was obtained."

"In former O'Neill publications John McFadden's setting of this reel
was given preference, being in the florid style of that famous
traditional fiddler. The version here presented memorized from lilting
by the editor in schoolboy days, may not be devoid of interest
especially as the arrangement is suited to the scales of the Highland
or Irish warpipes."

"Though plainly of Scotch origin both in name and tone, 'Cuttie Sark'
is not to be found in any of the old Scotch or Miscellaneous
Collections which have been examined. Translated in English,
'Cutty Sark' means Short Shirt, or Chemise, and as far as memory
serves me, the above setting had been obtained from a comparatively
modern manuscript obtained from Sergt. James O'Neill."

"There is enough resemblance between the above melody and that
 which follows to suggest a common origin. The 'Dalkeith Maiden'
 was taken from Aird's  'Selections of Scotch, English, Irish and
 Foreign Airs, Vol.III', published in  Glasgow, 1786. The earliest
 setting of 'Biddy I'm Not Jesting' available is that obtained by
 Petrie in 1829  from Paddy Coneely, the famous Galway piper,
 and which appears in the key of A Flat in the Stanford Petrie
 'Collection of Irish Music'. The source of this memorized version
 of earlier years cannot now be recalled by the writer."

"This catchy strain which is a superior variant of 'The Dancing Master'
in O'Neill's 'Dance Music of Ireland' was introduced to Chicagoans by
John Dromey, an excellent fluter, and amateur piper, whose name it
bears. Mr. Dromey who is yet hale and hearty, was in his prime, a
generation ago, the star of every Irish gathering, for as a traditional 
singer of Irish songs, he was unrivalled."

"From Glen's Analytical Table we learn that a tune named 'Dunse
Dings A' ' was printed in Neil Stewart's 'A Collection of the Newest
and the Best Reels, or Country Dances, Adapted for the Violin or
German Flute', Edinburgh 1761-62. Dunse is a town in the Lowlands,
a few miles from the English border, that gave name to several tunes.
'Dunse Dings A' ' signifies in plain English 'Dunse surpasses or
excels all', an exaggerated yet pardonable expression of local pride."

"Altho McGoun's tune was at hand for years, and was not known to
our traditional musicians, I hesitated to claim it as Irish, until
O'Farrell specifically notes it as being Irish in his 'Collection for
the Irish or Union Pipes'. Few variants, while preserving a distinct
strain, differ so widely in their development. O'Farrell was a
renowned Irish piper who took part in operatic performances on
the London stage late in the 18th Century."

"According to legendary lore the fairies or good people enjoy the same

before being called to another life. Many a tale is told of their
kidnapping a competent piper when necessary to entertain them

within the ancient raths or forts so numerous all over Ireland.
The Fairy Faith survives."

abound in variants, some of which differ but slightly from others in
their pages; the editor has continued the practice, rather than risk

" 'The Four Hand Reel' as far as the writer is aware was first brought
to Chicago in 1886 by Barney Delaney, an excellent Irish piper. So
versatile was he, like most great Irish musicians, in the manipulation
of his instrument, that he varied his tunes according to fancy
without detriment to tone or rhythm, but rather to the advantage of
the general effect. Although not included in any collection of Irish
music published beyond the Atlantic, the strain must have been quite
popular in the Eastern States, for we find the tune in a Boston
publication no less than four times, and named respectively:
'Corporal Casey's Favorite', 'Lady Gardner's Reel', 'Parnell's Reel',
and 'Yellow-Haired Laddie'; all consisting of but two parts each.
The setting here presented was memorized from Delaney's playing,
but no bare scoring of measured bars could do justice to his
inimitable execution.

Since the foregoing was written I find that 'The Five Mile Chase'
in R.M. Levey's 'Second Collection of the Dance Music of Ireland',
London, 1873; consisting of but two parts, is also a variant of
'The Four Hand Reel'."

"This characteristic Scottish dance tune was first printed in
'Bremner's 2d Collection of Scots Reels, or Country Dances',
London 1768. Like most tunes of that early date, the composer's
name is unknown. The origin of the name is traced to 'Callum a
chinn mhoir', anglicized Malcom Canmore, which signifies Callum
of the big head. He incurred the displeasure of the Highlanders
by marrying a Saxon princess which involved many unpopular
changes. Gillie Callum, or Callum's tax-gatherer, (an odious
official everywhere) has been immortalized in melody, while
the traditional story is well nigh forgotten.

The Sword dance is of high antiquity, and diversified in form
according to race, and the period of its practice. The
picturesque Sword Dance of the agile Highlanders alone has
survived to the present day."

"Robert Burns' song to this oldtime favorite strain, was in general
circulation among the Irish peasantry early in the last century,
and the name is still well remembered. The melody much older
than the poet's day, was known as 'We're a' dry wi' drinking o't'.
In reel time it was first printed in 1761 by Neil Stewart of Edinburgh
in 'A Collection of the Newest and Best Reels, or Country Dances,
Adapted for Violin or German Flute'. The traditional Irish version of
the tune as remembered by the editor may prove not uninteresting
to the musical student of a later generation."

"An anonymous variant of 'Jackson's Frolic' was memorized from
the fluting of James Moore in Chicago some fifty years ago.
Another version of the tune heard later differed so materially in
the second part, that it was added as a third part to Moore's
variant, and printed as 'Kitty of Oulart' in former O'Neill
collections."

"A tune known to me as 'Jenny Rock the Cradle' was declared to be
'Jacky Latin' by a musical acquaintance, and it was under the latter
name that it was printed in O'Neill's 'Dance Music of Ireland' in
1907. If both tunes were derived from Jackson's original composition, they
furnish a striking illustration of how time, taste, and development
diversify a strain of music in a few generations."

"This old time Scotch reel found in many publications, ancient and
modern, first appeared in Bremner's 'Collections of Scots Reels or
Country Dances', 1757. The version of it as played by the famous
Patsy Touhey on the Irish or Union pipes, much less cranky than
the original and later versions, may be found interesting."

H:H: There's another "Kitty O'Neill" in "Music of Ireland" (tunefolder 49), 
but it's not related to this one. Seems odd that the Chief would use the same 
name for two unrelated tunes, but it happens (and occasionally I get the 
feeling that the Chief didn't have as much to do with editing this volume 
as he did with the first two). I added "Fancy" to distinguish the two tunes - 
can't imagine the Chief objecting too much!

"In the days of our fathers, 'An Chnoicin Fraoich', or 'Little Heathy
Hill', both as song and air enjoyed no little popularity in the
province of Munster, particularly in the counties of Cork and Kerry.
As an air several settings of the melody have been printed, but never
as a hornpipe until now, and under its colloquial name among the
peasantry.

"It will be remembered that many notable dance tunes, especially
hornpipes and long dances, have been derived from song airs, such
as 'The Blackbird', 'The Job of Journeywork', 'The Garden of
Daisies', 'Rodney's Glory', and many others."

"I saw this tune in manuscript written in West Cork early in the
19th Century. The fact remains that it had been preserved in
printer's ink in Bremner's 'Collection of Scots Reels, or Country
Dances',  Edinburgh 1757. Its oldtime popularity is attested by
its inclusion in several other worthy Collections long out of print,
such as 'The Caledonian Muse' 1785; and Neil Gow's and Sons'
'Complete Repository etc'., 1805."

"The expression 'Ligrum Cus', evidently corrupt Gaelic, may be
translated 'Let go my foot'. It may also relate to the rent
question. [BB - ???]  We can hardly blame the Scotch, while

"In boyhood days I memorized the first part of this reel from the 
fiddle playing of Mr.Downing, a gentleman farmer who taught me the
rudiments of music on the flute. Thirty-five years later the second
part was supplied by A.S. Beamish, another West Cork musician. Being 
without a name the tune was called 'Timothy Downing' or 'Downing's Reel', 
in the O'Neill Collections. With a third part obtained from the famous 
fiddler John McFadden of Mayo, this tripartite reel is presented under 
its presumably true name."

"This fine reel first published in 1781 is but one of many composed by
Wm. Marshall, who for thirty years was in the service of the Duke of
Gordon as butler and house steward. In music as in other accomplish-
ments he was entirely self taught. His playing of strathspeys and 
reels was so inspiring, it is said, that neither the old nor the young 
could overcome their inclination to dance. As an amateur violin player 
of Scottish dance music, he was unrivalled in the last half of the 18th 
Century. No composer of his time was so victimized by plagiarists who 
appropriated his tunes, changed a few notes, and passed them off as 
their own under different titles."

"For over a century the name 'Merrily Kissed the Quaker' has been
associated with a tune or Special Dance in Ireland, but no song or
verse relating thereto has been traced. In 'O'Farrell's Pocket
Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes 1804-10', we find the tune
with name annotated 'New Sett Irish'. Continuing the investigation
we discover that 'Merrily Dance the Quaker' (probably the original
tune) was printed in No. 7 of 'Bremer's Collections of Scots Reels,
or  Country Dances' issued in 1760. The traditional version in North
Kerry taken from the Rice-Walsh manuscript serves to illustrate how
far a tune may deviate from the original in a few generations."

"'Miss Forbes' Return' as noted by Humphrey Murphy in Sergt. James 
O'Neill's manuscripts differs notmaterially from 'Miss Forbes' Farewell' 
as printed in Aird's 'Selections of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign
Airs' 1782-97. This strain is no less popular in Ireland than it is with 
Highland pipers everywhere. It may be claimed that Murphy's variant is 
more Irish in character than the original."

"Well-born and of surprising loveliness only equalled by their poverty,
the famous Gunning sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, born in Roscommon
and educated in Dublin, became Lady Coventry, and Dutchess
of Hamilton respectively, in 1752, one year after their arrival in
London. The marriages of 'two Irish girls of no fortune who are
declared the handsomest women alive' were great public events.
'May the Luck of the Gunnings attend you' was a proverbial Irish
blessing.

The above setting of a tune composed in their honor, and printed in
'Aird's Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol.1',
is doubtless the original. A highly elaborate and difficult
variant in four parts found in Sergt. James O'Neill's manuscripts,
entitled 'The Contradiction' was printed in former O'Neill
Collections.

As an example of what may be developed from a simple composition
by a skillful hand, both original and variant are herewith submitted
for comparison."

"The origin or meaning of the name of this popular tune defied
investigation and inquiry for many years. Eventually a glance
thru the pages of McGoun's 'Repository of Scots and Irish Airs,
Strathspeys, Reels, etc.', Glasgow 1803, led to the solution of
the puzzle. Among the contents was 'Sir Archibald Grant of
Moniemusk's Reel'. The popular name Moniemusk was that of an 
estate, and the full name of the reel being inconveniently
long, it was abbreviated to 'Moniemusk' and the rest of the
name forgotten. The first and second parts as above noted
constitute the original tune composed by Daniel or Donald
Dow, a musician of note who died at Edinburgh in 1783.
The third was substituted for the more difficult second by modern
fiddlers, and the fourth, the editor memorized from the playing of
Wm. McLean, the greatest Highland piper of his day in Chicago,
some fifty years ago."

"This tune is a variant of 'The Cloone Hornpipe' pubished in 
'O'Neill's Music of Ireland' and 'O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland'.

It was obtained from Sergt. James Early who learned it from his
tutor on the Union Pipes 'Old Man' Quinn. Like many other fine
tunes it was anonymous, so it was named 'The Cloone Hornpipe'
in honor of the famous piper's native town and parish in County
Leitrim, Ireland.

Its continued popularity is evidenced by its inclusion in a recent
Irish Collection under the identical name invented for it by its
sponsor, Sergt. James Early of Chicago."

"In the year 1902 a thin oblong book of manuscript music came to
hand from Prof. P.D. Reidy, 'Professor of Dancing, London and
Castleisland'. Altho it included forty tunes from the repertory of
five competent fiddlers, nearly all were variants of tunes already
in our possession. The above as played by Daniel J. Kelleher
is one of the exceptions. There can be little doubt that Mr.
Reidy's title was well deserved, because his fame as a dancer
and dancing master in early life in North Kerry was successfully
maintained later in life in London, where he was esteemed as
an authority on the subject. Frequent mention of his name
appears in 'Irish Minstrels and Musicians'."

"This fine jig, remarkable for originality of composition, and the
technique essential to giving it adequate expression, is a
masterpiece of execution at the hands of the amiable Patrick
Stack who obligingly scored it on paper, after charming us
with it on his fiddle - Coming from Jerry Breen, the much admired
blind fiddler of North Kerry, it was preserved in the Rice-Walsh
manuscript and is now recorded for print for the first time."

"Altho' this splendid reel does not appear in the Bunting, Petrie or
Joyce Collections, it was pretty generally known to the pipers and
fiddlers of Chicago, hailing from the west and south of Ireland
and always by the same name. Occasionally variants of the tune
are found in manuscript collections. In arrangement, Touhey's
setting differs both in key and style from that printed in former

"'The Piper's Maggot', as this old tune was called, first appeared in
print in Bremner's 'Collection of Scots Reels and Country Dances',  
Edinburgh 1758. As the word 'Maggot', which means an odd fancy or whim 
is obsolete in this age, the change of name is permissible. The tune was 
printed in Aird's 'Selections etc.', London 1797, and in later publications 
somewhat varied."

"A few years ago as Mr. Leech was fingering a stray reel on his
flute, Prof. John Cummings (mentioned on page 282-4, Irish
Minstrels and Musicians) remarked 'that's "The Raveled Hank
Of Yarn" and I had forgotten it for the last forty years'. Although
then in his 85th year he buckled on his pipes, and played the
tune in a style which astonished his audience. It is a variant
of No.638 in 'O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland' ('Nelly O'Donovan')."

"This spirited Slip Jig is a variant of 'Dublin Streets', obtained from
Mr. Ennis of the Irish Music Club of Chicago, and published in
former O'Neill Collections. 'The Splashing of the Churn', or in
Irish 'Glugur an Meadair' is the original name of the tune.
Following is another version of it [Humors of Bottle Hill #182],
obtained thru the courtesy of Sergt. James P. Walsh of Chicago, 
whose manuscript collection has been a prolific source of many desirable 
melodies hitherto unpublished."

"An excellent double jig called 'Tumble the Tinker' was printed for
the first time in the enlarged edition of 'O'Neill's Irish Music for
Piano or Violin', issued in 1915. It was obtained from John McFadden, a
clever traditional Irish fiddler of Chicago, who until then had forgotten
the tune since last leaving his native Mayo some forty years before.
Since its publication as stated, a spirited second finish has been
developed. As varied in the present setting 'Tumble the Tinker',
heretofore so little known, is assuredly worthy of preservation, and
enhanced publicity."

"'The Waves of Tramore', obtained from our versatile friend
Mr. McCormick, who swings a bow, or fingers a chanter with
equal facility, is a much better jig than 'Larry Grogan' of
which it is a variant. The latter was composed early in the
18th century by Lawrence Grogan of Johnstown Castle,
Kilkenny, a 'gentleman piper', celebrated in song and story.
'Larry Grogan' was printed in Aird's 'Selections of Scotch,
English, Irish and Foreign Airs' (Glasgow, 1782) and in
'The Hibernian Muse' (London 1787). An unmusical second part
detracted from its popularity, altho few Irish dance tunes have
been favored with such liberal publicity."

"The Single Jig, like the Double Jig, is in six eight time, but differs
from the latter chiefly in having at most but one triplet in each bar.
More ancient that the Double Jig, the dance steps of the Single Jig are
more light and graceful." (BB note: To the Editor's comments I would add 
that single jigs are the basis of most slides, which evidently weren't 
yet known by that name in the Chief's day.)

"It may be permissable to abbreviate such an involved title as 
'Sae Braely as I was kiss'd yestreen' into 'Yesterday's Kisses'
both for convenience and euphony, especially as the sentiment
has not been clouded by the change. This jig preserved also in
Aird's 'Selections', has been given circulation recently on the
player-pianos."
