The Humours of Ballyconnell hornpipe

This isn't the well known reel, but rather the hornpipe that shows up on Jimmy Noonan and Chris McGrath's CD, "The Maple Leaf."

Great versions were recorded by Sean Keane and Mary Bergin, both pretty much as in O'Neill.

Confused: Seán Ó Duibhir A' Ghleanna

I'm confused reading the sheetmusic here and listening to the melody of the same name which Alec Finn plays at "Blue Shamrock". It doesn't seem to be the same.
Am I wrong?

In fact I'm looking for the tune/sheetmusic Alec played on the mentioned album.

Alec Finn plays the air to the well-known song, which is very different from this hornpipe. I don’t know why someone has given this the alternative title of “Sean O’Dwyer”. There has been no justification of it in the “comments”. I don’t see much resemblance between the 2 tunes either.

Seán Ó Duibhir a'Ghleanna

Kenny, I did. I've never heard Alec Finn's playing, but Angelina Carberry recorded this tune as a hornpipe version of a song air "Seán O'Duibhir an Ghleanna" together with Martin Quinn. Then I found their version is virtually identical to what the Chieftains did as a set dance version of "Seán Ó Duibhir a'Ghleanna," so I added the alternative title in English and Irish.

You can actually watch Angelina and Martin play this: http://www.custysmusic.com/mall/CustysTraditionalMusicShop/angelina_and_martin.htm
