MOTHER'S DELIGHT (Aoibhneas na Máthar). AKA and see "Brian Boru's March (1)," "Cameronian Reel (3) (The)," "Malloy's Favorite." Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Donegal. D Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Breathnach): AABB (Taylor). A three-part tune he called "Mother's Delight" was recorded by fiddler James (Jim) Clark (1887-1938) of Drumlish, Co.

A two-part version played by Donegal fiddler John Doherty has become known under the "Mother's Delight" name via recordings by Paddy Glackin (on his eponymous first 1977 LP, played on the viola) and others.
