Tune Annotations

Tune Annotations:	'''MAN FROM GLEANNTÁN.''' AKA "Man from Glountane (The)." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Man from Glountane" was composed by Terry 'Cuz' Teahan (1905–1989), originally from Castleisland, County Kerry, but who loved much of his life in Chicago. Before he left Ireland he was a pupil of Sliabh Luachra fiddle teacher Pádraig O'Keeffe (1887–1963); he wrote this tune in honor of the anniversary of O'Keeffe's birthday, October 8th, 1972. However, the tune is quite close (and structurally identical) to "[[Cupido]] Hornpipe," printed in '''Ryan's Mammoth Collection''' in 1883, save for the first four measures of the second strain. It may be that Teahan's tune is derivative of the older melody, consciously produced or not.
