This is a very jolly little jig. It's got a lovely lilting rhythm to it. It's almost impossible not to tap your foot along with this one.
There's one unusual thing about this tune: there isn't a G note to found in it. This little piece of information could be useful to remember when you're trying to memorise the tune.

The Humours of Glendart
I've been noticing any number of different interpretations of the "basic melody" on this one. Might as well catalogue them here.
Some folks drop all the way to D in bars 1 and 3 of the A part:
BAF AFD|FEF DFA|BAF AFD|FEE E2 A|
BAF AFD|FEF DFA|dcB AFE|FDD D2 A:||
But some people hang on the E:
BAF AFE|FEF DFA|BAF AFE|FEE E2 A|
BAF AFE|FEF DFA|dcB AFE|FDD D2 A:||
Common differences in the B part are relatively minor.
Fluters like to roll the As in bars 2 and 6:
def d2 B|~A3 AFA|def d2 f|ede fdB|
def d2 B|~A3 ABc|dcB AFE|FDD D2 A:||
Fiddlers tend to fill in with various intervals:
def d2 B|ABA ABc|....
or
def d2 B|AFA ABc|
or
def d2 B|ABA AFA|
In bar 3 of the B part, |def def| is a common twist.

It is also called "The Bohola Jig" on Bohola's 3rd album it is the second tune in track 7.
# Posted on September 13th 2006 by Why Bother?
Make that track 8.

A nice jig indeed. But it's not on Bohola's third album. The Bohola Jig is slightly different: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2111

I prefer this tune to the Eponymous*: 'Saddle the Pony':

Humours of Glendart
Surely not also known as Irishman's Heart to the Ladies or, for that matter, hardly any of the other titles? I know it's a mark of excellence to purport not to know any of your tunes' names, but this is gone on to another level of lunacy.

I found this one under the above title in "Petrie's Complete Irish Music" (#1,120). He had it transcribed in the key he most likely HEARD the tune in (F Major), but I decided to put it in the more common key of "D" (it works in "G" as well, there's just a stretch up to a high c natural in the second part of the tune if you play it in that key). The best I could come up with for a translation of the title is "Dermot's Little Horse Is Here" or something to that effect (sorry in advance to any Gaelic speakers out there; Google Translate isn't exactly perfect...).

This tune can also be heard in the 7th Harry Potter Movie (part 1) for the wedding of Bill and Fleur Weasley scene. It is also played along with another jig called ave A Drink With Me.
Here is the scene....
