HUMORS OF LISADEL (Pléaráca Lios an Daill). AKA "Humours of Lissadell." AKA and see "The Musical Bridge." Irish, Reel. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. This reel was popularized by a 1937 recording by Sligo fiddlers Paddy Killoran [1] and Paddy Sweeney, who titled it "The Humors of Lisadell." Lissadell House, to use the usual spelling, is a country manor in south County Sligo, built in the 1830's for Sir Robert Gore-Booth. His famous descendants, the poet Eva Gore-Booth and her rebel sister Constance Markiewicz, were born in Lissadell House, which also figures in the poetry of W.B. Yeats.
The tune, however, is claimed by his nephew Vincent McGrath as a composition of New York fiddler, button accordionist and music teacher John McGrath (1900-1955), whose name for it was "The Musical Bridge," after a structure in Belmullet. Breathnach (1963) notes that Boston button accordion player Jerry O'Brien has a setting of this tune in his Irish Folk Dance Music (168). John McGrath is known to have contributed several tunes to that collection, including John McGrath's Composition and The Rossport Reel, a tune he named for his home place in Mayo but that is now better known as The Providence Reel.
