Back to Goat Pen (The)
GOAT PEN, THE (Crò nan Gobhar). AKA and see "Goat's Song (The)." Scottish, Jig. D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. "The Goat Pen, supposed remotely situated, appears, by the Gaelic words, to have been the rendezvous of two lovers. It is long known as a Scotch dance, but makes a beautiful and delicate air, if slowly performed, worthy of suitable words, and is inserted to reclaim it as a Highland melody" (Fraser). See Francis O'Neill's version under the title "Goat's Song (The)."
