Irish, Reel. D Major (Brody, O'Neill/1001): D Mixolydian (Miller & O'Neill/Krassen). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCD (Miller & Perron/2006, O'Neill/1001): AABBCCDD (Brody): AABB'CC'D (Miller & Perron/1977). See also the related "Green Jacket (The)" and the 18th century Scottish "Miss Corbett's Reel"--"College Groves" may have been adapted from the latter, according to O'Neill. O’Neill also transcribed a two- part version of "College Grove" in Chicago from County Leitrim native James Kennedy, learned from his father Peter Kennedy (Ballinamore). Another 19th century County Leitrim musician, biography:Stephen Grier (c. 1824-1894), a piper and fiddler, included a version of the tune as an untitled reel (see "Reel (58)") in Book 2 of his c. 1883 music manuscript collection.
The melody was recorded in the 78 RPM era by south County Sligo fiddler James Morrison in New York in 1926 under the title "Millstone (1) (The)." The reel was associated with the playing of West Clare fiddler Bobby Casey.
Paul Cranford says the tune is a favorite of Northside (Cape Breton) fiddler Bobby Stubbert, and Fr. John Quinn finds "Duncan MacQuarrie Strathspey (A)" to be a comparable (and perhaps related) tune.
