PARNELL’S MARCH. AKA and see "Julie's," "Micilín Conlon's," "Sweet Marie." Irish, March (6/8 or 12/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune was recorded by piper Joe McKenna under the title “Rowsome’s Jig(s),” referring to his teacher, Leo Rowsome [1], although Rowsome catagorized the tune as a 'march' on his 1926 recording for Columbia Records. Rowsome used the tune as one of his theme pieces for radio broadcasts in the 1950's and 1960's, notes Don Meade.
Sol Foster (Ir-trad 12/15/05) notices the tune has a strong resemblance to Newfoundland fiddler Rufus Guinchard’s tune “Uncle Manual Milks the Cow.” Foster says the title was invented by Guinchard, and that the tune “was just a nameless one floating around the northwest portion of Newfoundland in the early 1900’s.” The march has also entered tradition in England, from the influential recording by Northumbrian musicians Willie Taylor, Joe Hutton and Will Atkinson.
The melody of "Sweet Marie," a song composed by Percy French, has a melody similar enough to "Parnell's March" that tenor banjo virtuoso Kieran Hanrahan used French's title when he recorded the piece, which the Irish Traditional Music Archive classed as a "military two-step."
