TURLOUGH, THE BRAVE (Toirdhealbhach Treun). AKA and see "River Lee (The)," “Trealock Lauder.” Irish, Air (9/8 time, "animated"). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. O’Neill seems to have taken the melody note-for-note from O’Farrell’s Pocket Companion (1806), where is appears as “Trealock Lauder,” a phonetic version of the Irish name. Alternatively, he perhaps had it from O'Daly, where it can be found under the title "Toirdhealbhach Láidir" (Turlough the Brave). O'Daly records:
Toirdhealbhach Laidir (i.e., Turlough the Brave, Valiant, Stout or Mighty) flourished about the middle of the last [i.e. 18th] century. His real name was Turlough O'Brien, and he belonged to the family from whom Leim Ui Bhrain (Lemebrian), a townland in the county of Waterford, takes its name. He frequented all the fairs and patterns of Munster, particularly those of his own county; and from his stalwart appearance, was an object of terror wherever he went.[1]
