Great tune!
I just had to comment after finding this: what a terrific tune!
A lot of tunes, when rendered down to sheet music lose their soul - they become very flat, and you need to hear them to find the pulse that brings the tune to life.
Some tunes, however, have such a strong pulse to the melody that they just come to life under your fingers. This one is a beautiful example of that: it just pulls you right in, and you can't stop playing it.
It's just a joy to play on a flute of whistle - it's such a strong tune, it practically embellishes itself right under your fingers!

hornpipe or slow reel?

Definitely not a hornpipe. Slow reel, fling, or highland?
# Posted on January 10th 2005 by slainte
I would say Slow Reel, as it doesn't look like a Highland (aka fling/ schottische)

Altered reel played slow
My guess is that it might be a 16 bar reel that they slowed down and doubled the B part. They did that with the "Miller of Drohan" on their "Otherworld" recording. They also started it on the B part compared to the tune I'm used to hearing that I learned from Dale Russ years ago. I suppose you'd have to ask Kevin or Sean though to find out for certain.

Terry Teehan's
It seems related to "The Tap Room": http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/711

Highland Fling
PHWARRR! - Obviously Highland Fling, 16 bars, a nice swing to it with those long notes too and a lovely second ending for the B part, so often relegated in later life as a single reel, but hey, that can work too. I tend to use snaps in this too, and definitely swing it.

I first heard this tune as a Scottish slow air, but can't remember where or when.

Sounds like a slowed down Reel to me. I do have it, slowed down like this, on a record somewhere..........but where?

The great Mick O'Brien plays this in his May Morning Dew record on whistle and calls it simply the kerry. He plays it in the set with the kerry fling and Joe Bans or something liek that. Nice.

also, i think i remember reading somewhere, possibly from lunasa notes, that it was terry teehan's version of the green fields of rosbeigh (aka a few other names that i cant think of right now).

This appears on "Skin And Bow" by Declan Folan and Junior Davey as "Molloy's Favourite", the other tune in the set being The Road To Gloutane http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1615.
