PLANXTY DAVIS ("Pleraca Daibis" or "Plearaca Daiti"). AKA and see "Killicrankie (2)," "Battle of Kilicrankie." Irish, Hornpipe or Long Dance (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill/Krassen): AABB (O'Neill/1001). "Planxty Davis" is one of the supposed seven or eight hundred compositions of the ancient harper Thomas O'Connellan[1], almost all of which are lost. The melody is occasionally attributed to Turlough O'Carolan, but it is unlikely that O'Carolan was old enough to have composed it, based on the tune's appearance in Scotland as “Battle of Kilicrankie/Killiecrankie (1).” See also note for “annotation:Breach of Aughrim (The)” for more on O'Connellan.
