MISS MONA(G)HAN('S REEL) {"Ingean Uí Muineacan," "Iníon Uí Mhuimhneacháin" or "Ingean Ni Muineacain"}. AKA and see "The Barrow Castle," "Belles of Tipperary [2],” "The Blea berry Blossom," "Connacht Lasses," "The Connacht Star," "The Dandy Girl/Lass/Lasses," "The Four Courts of Dublin," "Green Fields to America," "Jackson's Welcome to Cork [1]," "Johnny Shooting in the Glen," “Kerry Star,” “Lamont’s Reel,” “Mel Roddy’s Tune,” “The New Policeman,” "O'Connell in Clare," “Shannon’s Shores,” "Stormy Weather [1]," "The White haired Piper.” Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (O'Neill): AABB (most versions): AA’BB’ (Armagh Pipers): ABCDEF (Breathnach). “Miss Monaghan’s” is one variant of a large family of inter-related tunes that share melodic themes (see alternate titles) and general contour. The earliest appearance of the tune under this title appears to be in Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman’s (1828-1896) mid-19th century music manuscript collection. Goodman, an Irish speaker and uilleann piper, collected in tradition in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster, although he also obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed sources. Fintan Vallely, in his book Blooming Meadows (1998), relates that the famous piper and collector Séamus Ennis particularly relished playing this tune, as his mother was from County Monaghan. Some see similarities between this reel and the American tune “Johnny Don't Come Home Drunk.” “Connaught Lasses” is a related tune.
