This setting is basically the same as Gerry O'Connor's recording on the Journeyman album. One of my students had asked for a setting of the tune that was easier to follow rhythmically, so this is my simplification.

More usually spelled as "Rossinure Hill", this is a great song from county Fermanagh especially as sung by the great Gaby McArdle. It was, and probably still is, very popular with northern musicians as an air. I play it myself. As such, it can be played quite freely, rather than "rhythmically". I truly hope I never hear it played as notated here.
