FOXHUNTER'S (REEL) [1], THE (Fiagaí an Mhada Rua). AKA and see "Fiddler is Drunk (The)," "Patrick Kelly's Reel." Irish, Reel. G Major (Harker/Rafferty, Mallinson, Sullivan, Taylor): A Major (Alewine, Breathnach, Moylan). Standard, GDgd or AEae tunings (fiddle). AABBCCDD (Alewine): ABCDE (Breathnach): ABCCDD'E (Moylan): ABB'CCDDE (Harker/Rafferty): ABBCCDDEE (Mallinson, Sullivan, Taylor). One of the "big" reels at sessions in modern times. It is generally easier for fiddlers to play it in the key of 'A' Major, although session playing demands 'G' to accommodate other instruments. The GDgd or AEae tuning for the tune was traditional in County Kerry, and was brought to southern County Clare by the late fiddler Patrick Kelly (1903-1975) of Cree (Fiddler Magazine, Spring 1994), with whom the tune was strongly associated. Kelly inherited music from peripatetic fiddle master George Whelan, originally from County Kerry who came to County Clare in the 1880's.
"Greig's Pipes" is a related tune that, says Breathnach, "left its mark on 'The Foxhunters', as did 'Miss McLeod's'." Goodman prints the tune under the title "Greig's Pipes."
Paraphrasing King Alfred the Great, William Shenstone (1714-1763) wrote, "There are people who read, people who write, people who think, and there are foxhunters."
