Back to Nelson's Pillar
NELSON'S PILLAR (Colún Nelson). AKA and see "Kane's Reel (2)," "Miss Smyth's Reel," "Naval Pillar (2) (The)." Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Fr. John Quinn finds a precursor version in "Naval Pillar (2) (The)," found in Dublin publisher Maurice Hime's Hime's Collection of Favourite Country Dances for the Present Year (1795, No. 11). A County Leitrim setting of the tune that was collected as "Kane's" in County Fermanagh or Tyrone. Fiddler Larry Smyth (Abbeylara, Co. Longford) entered it into his c. 1900 manuscript collection under the title "Miss Smyth's Reel."
Nelson's Pillar [1] was a distinctive monument located in the midst of O'Connell Street, Dublin, erected in 1808-09 to commemorate Admiral Nelson's victory and death at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805). The Tuscan pedestal and column rose 121 feet above the street and was capped by a statue of Nelson. Despite its being a tribute to an English hero, Nelson's Pillar survived (albeit not without protest) after Irish independence until 1966, when the upper half was blown apart by an IRA bomb, necessitating dismantling the remainder (which caused more damage to the surrounding area than the original blast).
