Back to Gallaher's Lament


GALLAHER'S LAMENT. AKA and see "Frieze Breeches (1)," "Gallagher's Frolic (2)," "Soggarth Shamus O'Finn." Irish, Slow Air (6/8 time). D Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCDE. A variation of the lament is printed in Petrie as "Soggarth Shamus O'Finn" (No. 1024), and it appears (albeit speeded up) twice in Joyce's Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (1909) under the title "Gallaher's Frolic." Breathnach (1996) identifies it as the well-known double jig "Frieze Breeches (1)."

Source for notated version: blind fiddler Michael Daffy (Co. Clare, Ireland) [Darley & McCall].

Printed sources: Darley & McCall (Feis Ceoil Collection of Irish Airs), 1913; No. 12, pp. 5-6.
