Back to Maid in the Meadow (1)

MAID IN THE MEADOW [1]. AKA and see "Copey's Jig," "Cossey's Jig," "Crags of Burren," "Jimmy O'Brien's Jig," "Stone in the Field (The)." Irish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The accompaniment to the 'A' part begins on the subdominant chord. The earliest printed version of the tune is as "Cossey's Jig" in Jackson's Celebrated Tunes (1774). O'Neill has it as "Jimmy O'Brien's Jig" and Frank Roche gives it as "Molly Brallaghan (1)." See also the reel-time setting of the tune called "Greenfields of America (1)" and "Molly Brallaghan (1)." The tune was popular and often recorded during the 78 RPM era, although not always under the "Maid in the Meadow" title, the most common name for the tune nowadays. Fiddler James "The Professor" Morrison recorded it in New York in 1922 under the title "Mist on the Meadow."
