'''WESTPORT CHORUS.''' Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Related to, and perhaps a version of, “[[O’Rourke’s]]” AKA "Wild Irishman (The)." Anthony Buffery notes similarities with “[[Captain Byng]],” “[[Brosna Polka No. 3]],” “[[Mrs. Ryan's]],” “[[Stool of Repentance (The)]]” (slide), “[[Templeglantine Reel (1) (The)]]," "[[Pope's Toe]],” “[[Maids of Mitchellstown]],” “[[My Love is in the House]],” and “[[Silver Slipper (The)]].” “They are all different settings but recognizably derived from the same root tune,” states Anthony. The tune was recorded for Victor in 1926 by the fiddle and accordion duet of Frank Quinn (b. 1893) and P. Crowley, in New York. Reg Hall (1995) records that Quinn was a native of Greagh, Drumlish, County Longford, who had emigrated with his family to the United States in 1903, where he eventually became a policeman. Hall is of the opinion that Quinn’s recording, perhaps more than other contemporary sides, typifies the music and atmosphere of the Irish country-house dance, the breeding ground of Irish musicians from the 1880’s on. | '''WESTPORT CHORUS.'''

WESTPORT CHORUS. Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Related to, and perhaps a version of, “O’Rourke’s” AKA "Wild Irishman (The)." Anthony Buffery notes similarities with “Captain Byng,” “Brosna Polka No. 3,” “Mrs. Ryan's,” “Stool of Repentance (The)” (slide), “Templeglantine Reel (1) (The)," "Pope's Toe,” “Maids of Mitchellstown,” “My Love is in the House,” and “Silver Slipper (The).” “They are all different settings but recognizably derived from the same root tune,” states Anthony. The tune was recorded for Victor in 1926 by the fiddle and accordion duet of Frank Quinn (b. 1893) and P. Crowley, in New York. Reg Hall (1995) records that Quinn was a native of Greagh, Drumlish, County Longford, who had emigrated with his family to the United States in 1903, where he eventually became a policeman. Hall is of the opinion that Quinn’s recording, perhaps more than other contemporary sides, typifies the music and atmosphere of the Irish country-house dance, the breeding ground of Irish musicians from the 1880’s on.
