LARK ON THE STRAND [1] ("An Fhuiseog ar an Trá" or "An Fhuiseog 'sa Dumhach"). AKA and see "Droim Chonga," "Mulally's Jig," "Old Woman Lamenting Her Purse (The)," "Paddy Hughes' Jig," "Paddy the Post," "Stolen Purse (2) (The)." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Not the tune that usually goes by this title. The 'A' part struggles delightfully between G major and A dorian, and it has been notated variously with either key signature (one sharp). Breathnach (1963) states this is a County Sligo version and title ("the original" according to "the people of Sligo") and identifies a "not very good setting" also printed in Irish Folk Dance Music (No. 137). The jig is similar to "Stolen Purse (1) (The)," but different enough to be considered a separate tune.
