MAUDABAWN CHAPEL. AKA - "Reavy's," "Ryan's Reel." Irish, Reel. E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB' (Reavy): AABB (Taylor/Tweed): AABB' (Feldman & O'Doherty). Composed by fiddler and composer Ed Reavy (1898-1988) of Cavan, Ireland, and Corktown, near Philadelphia, Pa. The tune is named for a church in his native Cavan parish which the family attended. Along with "Hunter's House," this is the most famous Reavy composition in the tradition. Eileen Ivers (Bronx, New York) selected the melody as one of the pieces with which she won the Senior All Ireland fiddling title. Philippe Varlet believes the tune was probably composed in the 1950's.
Source for notated version: Francie and Mickey Byrne (County Donegal) [Feldman & O'Doherty].
