Irish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Carlin, Flaherty): AABB (Tubridy). There is a confusion of titles with this jig and its partner owing to a medley recorded by County Sligo/New York musician wikipedia:James Morrison (fiddler) (1893-1947). Morrison recorded "Mist in the Meadow" paired with "Castlebar Races" in New York in 1922 (OKeh 21009). As often happens, both tunes in the influential medley became known as "Mist in the Meadow". The present jig, however, is correctly called "Castlebar Races," with "Mist in the Meadow" being a misnomer. Probably influenced by Morrison's recording, the Lough Gill Quartet [1] continued the misnomer, and recorded the jig under the title “Mist on the Meadow” on a 78 RPM in Dublin in 1941. The duo of John McKenna and Eddie Meehan (1900-1940) from Kilrushister, Templeboy, Co. Sligo recorded the tune in New York in 1937 (paired with "Cook in the Kitchen"), also as "Mist on the Meadows".
