Back to Open the Door to Three (3)
OPEN THE DOOR FOR (TO) THREE [3] (Oscal an dorus do tri). Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill): AABB (Goodman, Kennedy). A variant of the melody printed by Gow, and still more distanced from the one-strain English version printed by Playford (for which see “Open the Door to Three (1)”). All three versions are recognizably cognate. The tune is derived from an old English melody used for a number of ballads and songs for the stage. See note for "annotation:Rant (The)" for more.
Sources for notated versions: O'Neill later in life obtained this version of the tune from the manuscripts of Timothy Downing, a gentleman farmer of Tralibane, County Cork, who taught O'Neill the rudiments of the flute when the latter was a boy during the 1860's [O'Neill/Irish Folk Music]; The mid-19th century music manuscript collection of uilleann piper and Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman [Shields].
