'''BRID HARPER'S [1]'''.  Irish, Reel. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Fiddler Brid Harper Rafferty, originally from Castlefin, Donegal, now lives in Tyrone. In an interesting journey, the tune was learned by Harper in the 1980's in a session in Ottawa from the playing of Denis Lanctot, originally from Quebec. As a result it has been ascribed French-Canadian origins. It is a Canadian tune, however, albeit one composed by western Canadian fiddler Grant Lamb, who plays in a Canadian "old-tyme" style. There is a hornpipe version of the tune ("Dermot Byrne's") also traveling in Irish trad. circles.
'''BRID HARPER'S [1]'''.  AKA and see "[[Grant Lamb's Reel]]." Canadian, Irish; Reel. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The tune was composed by Manitoba fiddler [[biography:Grant Lamb]] and was played at a session in Ottawa, Canada, by young fiddler Denis Lanctot in the mid-1980's.  Irish fiddler Brid Harper, on a Comhaltas tour, was in attendance at the time and picked it up from Lanctot's fiddling, although she did not get the name of the tune. It was disseminated in Irish music circles through her playing and videos, with the name "Brid Harper's" attached in lieu of another title. See also "[[Brid Harper's (4)]]"/"[[Sam Cormier Reel]]" for another tune picked up in the session by Harper, also sans title but later revealed to be composed by Lanctot.
