"The Thanksgiving"
Well, getting ready for the start of the holiday season and found this at a website called 'Breizh Partitions' (http://breizhpartitions.free.fr/en/ ) that can also be found by following the links at 'Mix O'Lydian's' site (http://www.intermix.freeuk.com/ ). It's listed as a march of Irish origins. I thought it would make a nice slow piece for turkey and fixin's with family and friends?
Any information regarding this tune would be welcome.
Thanks 'Mix'!

"Thanksgiving" ~ R: air
http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/THA_THE.htm
THANKSGIVING (Toirbeirt Buideac). Irish-American, Air (2/4 time, "tenderly"). G Major. Standard. AB. Composed by fiddler James O’Neill (b. 1863, originally from County Down & Belfast), who, when a sergeant in the Chicago police force in the first decade of the twentieth century collaborated with Captain Francis O’Neill (no relation) on Music of Ireland. In Irish Folk Music O’Neill states it was an “old Irish strain” elaborated by James. O'Neill...
( Well, it seems like I'll need to find another name for that other march... It figures that as a title 'Thanksgiving' would have already been used in America. I should have checked the name first before using it...
