Troy's Wedding
Composed by Canadian piper, ( and drummer, too, so I've been told ), Colin Magee. Recorded by "Battlefield Band" and "Ossian".
Dublin piper and whistle player Peter Phelan played this at the Willie Clancy Week flute and whistle recital this year, and I stumbled across him teaching it to 3 whistle players the next day.
We had great fun playing and discussing the tune. A modern classic of "kitchen-piping".

I've heard Peter Phelan play it before, but only the first three parts. The above setting is more or less that which appears in Ceol na Fidhle, Vol. IV - Highland Tunes for the Fiddle (probably taken from a bagpipe collection). I've heard a variation to the third part, which goes something like this:
|:Aaa Bac|aad aea|faa eaa|dac aBa|

Should the 7th bar of the first part end on a c instead of a d, as do the 3rd and 4th parts?
The abc's seem to suggest you have already made a change to the 4th part - end on an 'e'.
Curious

Correction: Peter Phelan plays the whole tune. I must have been thinking of someone else.
Also, the Ceol na Fidhle setting has a straightforward repeat in the 2nd part - i.e. without the 2nd time variation.
