Back to Humors of Castlelyons (The)

HUMORS OF CASTLE LYON(S)/CASTLELYONS (Sugra Caislean Ua Leaocain/Liatain). AKA and see "Killashandra Lasses (The)," "Judy McFadden's." Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Cole, Kerr): AABB' (O'Neill). O'Neill (1910) says the tune is "probably not a very ancient composition. It was not known, evidently, to any collectors of Irish folk music before Dr. Hudson obtained a setting of it from a noted piper named Sullivan, in the County of Cork (a rival of another musician called Reilaghan). The tune has found its way into American collections of harmonized melodies." The jig appears in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) as "Judy McFadden's."

Source for notated version: A piper named Sullivan [The Dublin Magazine]:

Another pipe-jig--a regular Munster man, by name and by nature--"The Humours of Castle Lyons,"-- picked by at Glean-na-b-fraocan last summer, in the time of the rick-making, from one Sullivan, a piper.
