SERGEANT STACK'S FAVORITE (Roga Maor Staic). Irish, Double Jig. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill/1850 & 1001): AABB (O'Neill/Krassen). Musician and researcher Paul de Grae, in his notes to the O'Neill collections [1], suggests the tune is more playable in A dorian or with mixed accidentals. De Grae also remarks:
The recurring feature of four notes in the time of three is carefully notated, and must have been a prominent feature of Stack's playing: see also Edward Cronin's setting of "Banish Misfortune" [MI 776, DMI 53], where this characteristic also occurs. It is still a feature of Sliabh Luachra music; and O'Neill writes that Stack "was born and brought up within a radius of a dozen miles or so of where the Counties of Kerry, Cork and Limerick come together [IMM, p. 422), i.e., he was a Sliabh Luachra naive.
