'''BALTIORUM'''. AKA - "Baltighoran." AKA and see "Baltyoran," "Baulthy Oura." Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). G Major (O'Neill): D Major (O'Sullivan/Bunting): C Major (Heymann). Standard tuning. AB (O'Sullivan/Bunting): AABB (Heymann, O'Neill). The title comes from the Irish "Baal Tighe Abhran" (Baaltigh abhoran) according to Edwasrd Bunting who translated it as "The Song of the House of Baal." The song was sung at the St. John's Eve bonfire, and there is an implied connection with the fire-god Baal.
<br>
<br>
O'Neill, in '''Irish Folk Music''' (1910, pgs. 198-199), says:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
A very ancient Irish melody is 'Baltiorum', and oddly enough
it is known only by versions of that name. While euphonious, it
conveys no meaning to the reader, and it is commonly assumed
that notwithstanding its Latin termination it signifies something
in the Irish language. And so it does when understood. The first
writer who untakes to explain it is Edward Bunting. Baal tigh
abhoran, usually called 'Baltiorum,' is a tune which might perhaps
be assigned to the Pagan period, inasmuch as it is still customarily
sung at the bon-fires lighted on St. John's Eve, the anniversary of
Baal-tinne, and has so been sung from time immemorial. He does
not give the translation in English, although his dissertation is
much more comprehensive than the extract above quoted. To the
writer it appears to be the song of praise or worship of Baal, the
Fire-God.
<br>
<br>
The Pagan festivals eventually were wisely turned into account
as Christian holidays, and in this instance the Baal-tinne, or fire
lighted to welcome the Samhain or summer solstice, was continued
as the celebration of St. John's eve. The melody, Conran tells us in
his National Music of Ireland (1850), may still be heard from the
groups assembled around these bonfires. In the writer's boyhood
days the melody was forgotten and so was the Pagan significance
of the celebration.
<br>
<br>
In O'Farrell's '''Pocket Companion''', etc., before mentioned, the name
of the tune is printed 'Baulthy Oura'. In Aird's '''Selection of Scotch,
English, Irish and Foreign Airs,''' it is 'Baltioura.' Haverty in '''300 Irish
Airs''' calls it 'Baltighoran,' the same title given by Bunting over the
printed music, regardless of his explanations. The air, or rather dance
tune, as 'Baltiorum' is also one of the numbers in Bland and Weller's
'''Annual Collection of Twenty-four Country Dances for the Year 1798'''.
</blockquote>
<br>
Ann Heymann (1990) thinks Bunting's translation is in error; rather than referencing Baal, the beginning of the title she believes is simply a phonetic approximation of the common Irish noun Baile, meaning 'townland', 'farmland' or 'place'. Thus the title would be better translated as "Place of the Song House."
<br>
<br>
''Source for notated version'': the Irish collector Edward Bunting noted the tune from T. Conlan in 1831, according to the index of his 1840 collection.
<br>
<br>
''Printed sources:'' Heymann ('''Off the Record'''), 1990; pgs. 4-5. O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; pg. 80. O'Neill ('''Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies'''), 1979; No. 1128, pg. 213. O'Sullivan/Bunting, 1983; No. 108, pgs. 155-156 (appears as "Baltighoran").
