LARK IN THE MORNING [1]. AKA and see "Buachaillín Buí (An)," "House in the Glen (1) (The)," "Western Lilt (A)." Irish, Double Jig.

AAB (Mitchell): AABB (Mitchell, Phillips, Spadaro): ABCC'D (Moylan): AABBCCDD (most versions): AABB'CC'D (Mitchell).

It has also been identified as a variant of "Hills of Glenorchy."
The tune, widely and popularly played, has been associated with a variety of titles, finally settling as "Lark in the Morning" among most fiddlers only in the second half of the 20th century. Dublin piper, collector and researcher Seamus Ennis maintained that "Lark in the Morning" was derived from a tune called "Lark's March (The)," as played, for example in a five-part version by Kerry fiddler Padraig O'Keefe. Largely due to the influence of Co.

His recording career began as early as 1921.
Willie Clancy declared he had the tune from his mother, Ellen Killeen, a singer and concertina player from Ennistymon. Martin Mulvihill gives this tune for the longdance The Siege of Ennis. "Lark in the Morning" can be heard in the mid-1990's film The Devil's Own during the house-party scene in honor of Harrison Ford's film daughter's Confirmation.
