'''MORGIANA IN IRELAND.''' AKA – "[[Captain Mulligan]]." Irish, Set Dance; English, Jig. A Major (O'Neill, Raven, Roche): B Flat Major (Kershaw): G Major (O'Farrell, Sumner). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Raven, Sumner): AABB (Roche): AABBCC (Kershaw, O'Farrell). The Morgiania tunes were thought to have derived from Richard Sheridan's '''The Forty Thieves: A Grand Melo-Dramatic Romance''' (1806), music by Michael Kelly. However, "[[Morgiana]]" AKA "[[Morgiana in England]]" was first published in Joshua Campbell's '''A Collection of New Reels''' (Edinburgh and Glasgow, 1786, p. 74), so it would seem that the Morgiana trope was current a generation prior to Sheridan's play. In addition to the copybooks of Kershaw and Gibbons (referenced below) the melody can also be found in the music manuscripts of John Clare (Helpston, Northants, 1820), Rev. Robert Harrison (Brampton, Cumbria, 1820), Miss Best (unknown, c. 1850), C.J. Surtees (Northumberland, 1819), Thomas Shoosmith (Arlington, Sussex, early 19th c.), and Edward Russell (Monmouth, Wales, 1812). In print it appears in a small folio issued by Nathaniel Gow in Edinburgh in 1810, and in J. Balls' '''Gentleman's Amusement book 3''' (London, c. 1815, reprinted c. 1830), Firth & Hall's '''Newly Improved Instuctor for the Clarinet''' (New York, 1832), Paff's '''Gentleman's Amusement No. 2''' (New York, c. 1812), and '''Riley's Flute Melodies, vol. 3''' (New York, c. 1820). In the latter volume it appears as "Morgiana" with the alternate title "Capt'n Muligan" ([[Captain Mulligan]]). Aloys Fleischmann finds the first appearance in print to be in Edmund Lee's '''Lee's Collection of Country Dances for the present year''' (Dublin, c. 1795), although Fleischmann believes the volume is "misdated and should be ascribed to c. 1810." | |||

One part (Raven, Sumner): AABB (Roche): AABBCC (Kershaw, O'Farrell). The Morgiania tunes were thought to have derived from Richard Sheridan's The Forty Thieves: A Grand Melo-Dramatic Romance (1806), music by Michael Kelly.
