MIST ON THE MEADOW [1], THE. AKA – “The Mist in the Meadow.” AKA and see "Black Hoe (The)," “Castlebar Boy (The),” “Castlebar Jig (The),” “Castlebar Races,” "Mist in the Glen," "Scotsman Over the Border,” “Thrush in the Straw (1) (The)." Irish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Carlin, Flaherty): AABB (Tubridy). There is a confusion of titles with this jig and its partner owing to a medley recorded by County Sligo/New York musician wikipedia:James Morrison (fiddler) (1893-1947). Morrison recorded "Mist in the Meadow" paired with "Castlebar Races" in New York in 1922 (OKeh 21009). As often happens, both tunes in the influential medley became known as "Mist in the Meadow". The present tune, however, is correctly called "Castlebar Races," with "Mist in the Meadow" being a misnomer. Probably influenced by Morrison's recording, the Lough Gill Quartet [1] continued the misnomer, and recorded the jig under the title “Mist on the Meadow” on a 78 RPM in Dublin in 1941.

Cape Breton fiddlers call the tune "Black Hoe (The)." See also related tunes "Carraroe Jig (The)” and “Morrison's Fancy" (O’Neill, Waifs and Strays, 1922, No. 197).
