Tune properties and standard notation
JENNY'S DREAM. Canadian, Hornpipe. Canada, Cape Breton. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB.

The family named it in her honor. It has also been attributed to Karen Steele. The tune derives from O'Carolan's harp air "Princess Royal (1) (The)," a 3/4 time melody, and indeed, there are settings of "Jenny's Dream" in 3/4 time that are even more closely aligned with "Princess Royal."
