Back to Gallagher's Frolic (1)
GALLAGHER'S FROLIC [1]. AKA and see "Frieze Breeches (1)," "Gallagher's Jig (3)," "Gallagher's Lament," "Golliher's Frolic," "O'Gallagher's Frolics." Irish, Jig. D Minor/Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BBCCDDE. A variant of the well-known jig "Frieze Breeches (1)." "I have several settings of this fine tune (though not published), but none so good as this and the following version, which were both written by the same hand in the MS." (Joyce). O'Neill (Irish Folk Music) finds a third variant, a single jig setting, in Joyce's collection under the title "Breestheen Mira." Darley & McCall print a slow-air version in their Feis Ceoil Collection of Irish Airs (1914) as "Gallagher's Lament."
The tune was entered (as "Gallagher's Jig") in the c. 1890's music manuscript collection [1] of London dancing master Patrick D. Reidy, originally from Castleisland, Sliabh Luachara region, County Kerry. It is an imperfectly transcribed tune, which Reidy acknowledges in his copybook.
Source for notated version: unknown Limerick fiddler's manuscript, via Joyce.
Printed sources: Hardebeck (A Collection of Jigs and Reels vol. 1), Dublin, 1921; pp. 3-4 (as "Gallagher's Jig"). Joyce (Old Irish Folk Music and Songs), 1909; No. 350, pp. 160-161.
