TOMGRANEY CASTLE (Caislean Tuaim-Greine). AKA - "Tuamgraney Castle." AKA and see "Hurry Home the Harvest," “Loch Leven Castle,” “Tuamgraney Castle,” "Humors of Tuamgraney." Irish, Hornpipe (cut time). A Dorian (O'Neill): E Minor (Flaherty). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Tomgraney, or Tuamgraney, is in east Clare. The tower fortress of Tuamgraney Castle dates to c. 1550 and was constructed by the O'Grady family to protect the adjacent St. Cronan's church. The O'Grady's were a leading ecclesiastical family in Ireland in the late Middle Ages, and several relations went on to become Archbishops and many others held high office in the church. They were Lords of territory of Hy-donghaile, and, at the time the castle was constructed, ruled the areas about Tuamgraney, Scariff, Mountshannon and Whitegate. The formerly battlemented building is largely in ruins now.



The tune is nearly identical to most versions of the Scottish reel “Loch Leven Castle," although the notation for that tune in Köhler's Violin Repository is more distanced. The hornpipe appears as a reel entitled "Hurry Home the Harvest" in the c. 1909 music manuscript collection of south Armagh curate, musician and collector biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan. "Tomgraney Castle" is structurally related to "Sailor on the Rope." See also notes for “Annotation:Loch Leven Castle” and “annotation:Tuamgraney Castle.” See also the musically related "Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine (2)."
