O'DONNELL'S HORNPIPE (Crannciuil Ui Domnaill). AKA and see "Maguire's Fiddle." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. New York/County Sligo fiddler Paddy Killoran recorded the tune on a 1936 78 RPM in a medley with "Maguire's Fiddle," although some confusion exists because the tune names were reversed on the label. Paul de Grae thinks the tune sounds like a shortened Irish version of the English clog dance "Flee as a Bird."
