Back to Cuckoo (1) (The)

CUCKOO [1], THE. AKA and see "Murray's Fancy (1)," "Dublin Hornpipe (2) (The)." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Flaherty, Miller & Perron): AABB' (Mulvihill). This hornpipe is dissimilar to the "Cuckoo Hornpipe" in Christeson (USA) but is related to the "Cuckoo's Nest" family of tunes. Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman recorded the tune in New York in 1921, under the title "Murray's Fancy." The title appears in a list of tunes in his repertoire brought by Philip Goodman, the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth, to the Feis Ceoil in Belfast in 1898 (Breathnach, 1997). See also "Canadian Jig", which shares the same second strain with "Cuckoo (1) (The)."
