Back to Goat's Song (The)


GOAT'S SONG, THE (An Cronan Gabhair). AKA and see "Goat Pen (The)." Scottish, Air (6/8 time). F Major/D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The tune features ornaments that sound like a goat's bleating. O'Neill says an almost identical version of the melody can be found in Logan's Scottish Gael under the title "Cronan Gabhair." It also appears in Simon Fraser's 1816 volume Airs and Melodies Peculiar to Scotland and the Highlands under the title "Goat Pen (The)."

Source for notated version: "Mr. Quinn, a famous Irish piper of Chicago (and) his friend Segt. James Early" [O'Neill].

Printed sources: O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 480, p. 84. O'Neill (1913), p. 124.
