CENTENARY MARCH, THE. AKA and see "St. Patrick's," "St. Patrick's March." Irish, March (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Sean Maguire's recording of the melody helped to popularize this tune for Ceili band sessions, although it was recorded some eight years prior by the Gallowglass Ceili Band[1]. However, it apparently was composed by one Arthur Kearney from Drumquin, County Tyrone, according to his grand-daughter Emma O'Neill, to commemorate the Christian Brothers having been in Omagh for 100 years. The march has become quite popular with East Anglia trad. musicians as well as elsewhere in Britain, according to Barry Callaghan (2007). The 'A' part has melodic similarities to that of "Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine (1)," "Comhra Donn (An)" and "Caledonian March," and can be found in the British Isles and North America as well as Ireland.
- ↑ A commercially successful touring and recording group formed in Naas, Co. Kildare in 1950.
