Tune properties and standard notation
ENGLISH CHURLS, THE (Bodaigh An Bheurla). Irish, Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB.
Source for notated version: Hugh O'Beirne, professional fiddler of Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim (1846) [Joyce]. Charles Villiers Stanford records: "O'Beirne was a man of exception musical taste and culture, with a vast knowledge of Irish music, gleaned from the purest and most authentic sources. He placed his stores of knowledge and his musical skill unreservedly at the service of Forde, who mentions him everywhere through his collection. It does not appear that Dr. Petrie ever came across him."
Printed sources: Joyce (Old Irish Folk Music and Songs), 1909; No. 793, p. 386.
