ROTTEN SPUDS, THE. Irish, Reel (cut time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "The Rotten Spuds", a title evocative of the horrors of the Great Famine of 1847-1851, is contained in the music manuscript collection of curate and fiddler biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1952), Oriel region, south Ulster[1]. The tonality is indeterminate: the melody words as well in the dorian as it does in the minor mode (which matters in the 2nd strain only), and the second strain strongly suggests D dorian (or, if the 'f' is sharped, in D mixolydian).
- ↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by an unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
