'''BATTLE OF AUGHRIM [2], THE.''' Irish, March (2/4 time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. O'Neill (1922) says: "To the musical antiquary war cries and battle pieces may not be without interest. To the modern ear they possess but little attraction; yet when Martin O'Reilly, the blind piper from Galway, at the Dublin feis in 1901 played a descriptive selection entitled "The Battle of Aughrim 1691" in which the blare of trumpets, battle onslaught, and wailing of the women were imitated, his performance was rapturously applauded." The piece is loosely characterized as a march, although it is more of a free-form piece, having also characteristics of an air.
