JOYS OF WEDLOCK [1], THE. AKA and see "New Married Couple (The)." Irish (originally), Canadian, American; Double Jig. Ireland, Limerick. Canada; Maritimes. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Learned by Irish collector P.W. Joyce as a child in Co. Limerick during the 1840's. The earliest appearance of the tune in notation is in Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman's mid-19th century music manuscripts. Goodman (1828-1896) was an uilleann piper, and an Irish speaker who collected locally in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster. He also obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed collections, and, in fact Goodman's setting is nearly identical to Joyce's. O'Neill prints the tune as "New Married Couple (The)."
