Lieutenant Maguire
A well-known Highland bagpipe tune, recorded by "Ossian" and the "Tannahill Weavers" among others. I've always thought it is derived from the Irish jig "Lannigan's Ball". There are distinct similarities.

Ossian's version:
This is in fact a 6/8 pipe march, not a jig strictly speaking. This is the version I know from Ossian's Seal Song album, which is on this site - www.thesession.org/recordings/display/951
I have submitted it in its "correct" piper's key of B minor, but Ossian play it initially in A minor before doing the key change up.

Jig...:
No, as far as I know, it is a jig, not a march. The 3rd part's missing from your transcription. Obvious similarities to "Lannigan's Ball". I think this might be an example of Scottish pipers taking an Irish jig, putting it into a key suitable for the pipes, and making a 4-part version of it.

No 3rd part from Ossian:
Yeah, you're doubtless right Kenny about it being a jig, not a march. There is a 3rd part, which is almost identical to the 1st part. Ossian left it out, I suspect because doing so improves the tune by giving it more urgency. This is the version I decided to transcribe.
