KITTY FROM LONGFORD. Irish, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Kitty from Longford" is contained in the music manuscript collection of curate and fiddler biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1952), Oriel region, south Ulster[1]. The title (as "Lady from Longford") was included in the tune list of piper Philip Goodman (c. 1831-1908), Carrickmacross, Ireland, who is variously described as "the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth", and also recorded as having been from Donaghmoyne, County Monaghan (all of which are places from the same area, and contiguous to Donnellan's Oriel region). Goodman brought his list to the Feis Ceoil in Belfast in 1898 (Breathnach, 1997). Donnellan's "Kitty from Longford" also is related to both "Molly from Longford (1)" and "Molly from Longford (2)," although while there are many similarities, there are also melodic differences in the tunes, so that they may be considered 'similar and perhaps cognate.'
- ↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by an unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
