'''MUSICAL PRIEST, THE''' ("t-Sagart Ceolmar (An)" or "Sagart an Cheoil"). AKA and see "[[Buckeen (The)]]," "[[Cameron House]]," "[[George Gubbin's Delight]]," "[[Lord Kelly]]--Strathspey," "[[Lord Kelly's Rant]]/Reel)," "[[Mo Ceoil Sibh a Laochra]]" "[[New Bridge of Erin (The)]],"  Irish, Reel. B Minor/Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (Miller & Perron/2006, O'Malley): AABC (O'Neill/1850): AA'BC (Breathnach): AABBCC (Brody, Mallinson, Miller & Perron): AA'BBCC (Moylan): AABB'CC' (O'Neill/Krassen). It seems likely the "Musical Priest" was derived from Scots composer William Marshall's strathspey "[[Belhelvie House]]" (which the Gows renamed "[[North Bridge of Edinburgh (The)]]"). Brendan Breathnach published the tune under the title "[[New Bridge of Erin (The)]]," a variant of "[[New Bridge of Eden (The)", the name under which it was entered into the mid-19th century music manuscript of the Gunn family of County Fermanagh. See also the related "[[Humors of Schull]]," "[[Old Grey Gander (The)]]," "[[Wedding Ring (2)]]." The reel was recorded by County Sligo fiddle master James Morrison in New York in 1935.
