ALL ROUND THE ROOM. Irish, Reel (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "All Round the Room" is from the 1883 music manuscript collection of County Leitrim musician Stephen Grier. The first strain is cognate with the second strain of Canon James Goodman's "Sporting Days of Easter (4) (The)." Musician and researcher Conor Ward finds both strains cognate with "<incipit title="load:gay" width=850 link="https://tunearch.org/wiki/Let's be Gay">Let's be Gay</incipit>" from Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883), which itself is a derivative of the Scottish "Duke of Perth."
