Back to Primrose Glen (The)
PRIMROSE GLEN, THE (Gleanntán na Samhaircíní). AKA and see "Blooming Meadows (3)," "Lark on the Strand (2)," “Primrose Vale,” “Wicky Sears." Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Breathnach (1963) says the tune is sometimes incorrectly called “Lark on the Strand (2),” although this title seems to have stuck. The alternate title “Lark on the Strand" (sometimes "Lark in the Morning”) is also the name of several other jigs. Boston button-accordion player Jerry O’Brien published the melody as “Wicky Sears” in the mid-20th century in his Irish Folk Dance Music (Roxbury, Mass.).
Source for notated version: accordion player Sonny Brogan (County Sligo/Dublin, Ireland), 1950's [Breathnach].
Printed sources: Breathnach (CRÉ I), 1963; No. 5, p. 4 (2001. Appears as “Gleanntán na Samhaircíní”).
Recorded sources: Tara CD 4011, Frankie Gavin – “Fierce Traditional" (appears as "Primrose Vale").
