Tune properties and standard notation
FAIR WIND, THE (Cóir Ghaoithe). Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Breathnach, CRÉ III): AABBCC (Breathnach, CRÉ V). Jackie Small, editor of CRÉ V, says the three-part tune in that volume is the one usual among present-day Irish musicians. An untitled three-part reel on page 173 of Bernard Flaherty's Trip to Sligo (1990) is a related tune. The reel was recorded as a three-part tune on Dervish's "Midsummernight" CD as part of the set entitled "Out on the Road." Liner notes to the album identify it as a popular session tune that was recorded by piping master Séamus Ennis. See also the closely related "Rip the Calico" and "Tear the Calico (2)."
Source for notated version: piper Séamus Ennis (Ireland) [Breathnach].
