~ MARCH ~
March! ~ and a nice one too. So where did you get this from? It might help the rest of us to pin it down to sources. It's familiar but I haven't a name coming to mind for it as yet...

Does anybody know this tune?
I learned this beautiful march from the playing of the Leeds Ceili Band recorded around 10 years ago. It's the first tune of a smashing medley of a march, a jig, an O'Carolan piece, and a reel. I've no idea where it comes from. A fife tune?

You're quick!

This tune is running around my head now -so Slainte, are you going to enlighten us as to what the other tunes in the medley are or just leave us in suspense!!!

This March (the full band)/ The Donnybrook Fair (pipes solo)/ Nameless O'Carolan Piece (fiddle & piano accordion duet accompanied by pipe drone)/ The Pigtown (the full band) It's on the recording called "Music in Exile: a celebration of comhaltas in Leeds" http://www.leedscomhaltas.org.uk/index.php?se=9&pg=36
I'll try to find out more about this tune and O'Carolan piece. 'Ceolachan' points out this march can be played in Edor somewhere else.

I thought it sounded kinda familiar as well - but then I figured it was the set dance, 'Rodney's Glory', I was thinking of - is there some sort of relationship there, perhaps.

I've known it in E Dorian but it can also be played in B Dorian... I still haven't come up with the 'name' yet, but I haven't given up, not on my memory or my various resources, living and otherwise. As I like to put it, my memory isn't bad, it just doesn't perform on demand...
I'll return with some other takes on this one. It's a kick to play..

I searched several tune databases, but nothing came up. I'll try to contact a member of the band.

I haven't had any luck finding a title for this one yet either, but much of what I'd turn to is not at hand here... I'll keep looking...
