Back to Captain Magan
CAPTAIN MAGAN (Captain Mac Cean). Irish, Planxty (6/8 time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). O'Sullivan believes 'Captain Magan' is the same person as Morgan Magan (d. 1738) of Togherstown, County Westmeath, the subject of a popular O'Carolan air called "Morgan Magan." The versions printed by the Neale's, Mulholland and Holden are similar, remarks O'Sullivan, "but differ in their distribution of accidtnals; also they all have a key-signature of one flat instead of two."
Source for notated version: John and William Neale's book of Carolan compositions (Dublin, c. 1721) [O'Sullivan].
