RORY/RORIE DALL'S SISTER'S LAMENT (Caome Dearbsiur Ruaidri Daill). Scottish, Irish; Air (3/4 time). E Minor/G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed either by Scottish wire-harper Roderick Morison (circa 1656-1713), harper to Clan MacLeod, or possibly by the Ulster-born (d. 1653) Rory Dall (O'Caithean or O'Cahan), who was harper to several Scottish noble families in the 17th century. Both carried the Gaelic sobriquet dall, meaning 'blind'. Unfortunately, little is known about either. The melody appears in Donald Dow's (1732-1783) Collection of Ancient Scots Music and at the end of Bruce Armstrong’s The Highland Harp. A slow air entitled "A Port" in the Straloch Lute Manuscript of 1627-29 (pp. 23-24) appears to be a distanced version (perhaps a precursor) of "Rory Dall's Sister's Lament."
