MUNSTER LASS [1], THE (An Cailin Mumaineac). AKA - "Munster Lasses (2) (The)." Irish, Jig or March (6/8 time). E Flat Major (Galwey): F Major (McGuire, Ryan): D Major (Goodman, Kennedy). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Galwey): AABB (most versions): AABBCCDDEEFF (Kennedy). "The Munster Lass" appears twice in the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection (vol. 3, p. 146; vol. 4, p. 20) of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper Canon biography:James Goodman. Peter Kennedy's version is a rather elaborate six-part tune, the first and fifth strains of which correspond to the tune usually played in two parts.
