Back to Merry Harriers (1) (The)
MERRY HARRIERS [1], THE ("Na Gadaraide Sugaig," "Na Gadair Meadraca" or "Na Fiairí Feá"). AKA - "The Harrier's." AKA and see "Cup of Tea (2) (The)," "Cup of Tay (The)." Irish, Reel. A Dorian ('A' part) & G Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Breathnach): AA'B (O'Neill/1850): AA'BB' (O'Neill/Krassen & 1001): AABB' (Carlin). 'Merry harriers' were sport hunters on horseback. Country inns were sometimes called "The Merry Harrier" -- a 19th century version of a sports bar. Breathnach (1976) identifies this as a County Mayo reel. See also O'Neill's second setting, "Merry Harriers (2) (The)."
Source for notated version: fiddler Paddy Ryan (Co. Roscommon and Birmingham, England) [Breathnach]; "McFadden" [O'Neill]. O'Neill's source, fiddler Biography:John McFadden, was originally from County Mayo, and was a primary contributor to O'Neill's 1903 collection.
