CHANTER'S TUNE, THE (Fonn an Ceolraide). AKA - "Song of the Chanter." Irish, Slow Air (2/4 time) or March. D Mixolydian (Vallely): G Mixolydian (Johnson, O'Neill): G Minor (O'Sullivan/Bunting). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill, O'Sullivan/Bunting): AABB (Johnson, Vallely). Probably a piper's piece, from the title. It is often given as a beginner's tune for pipers, as it may be rendered entirely without having to 'overblow' into the next octave.
Source for notated version: the melody was given to the Irish collector Edward Bunting by one "E. Shannon, Esq." in 1839, though no words have been found [O'Sullivan/Bunting]. Clare piper Willie Clancy (Miltown Malbay) [Bulmer & Sharpley].
