SECOND WEDDING, THE (An Dara Banais). AKA and see "New Wedding Reel." Irish, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Connolly & Martin, O'Neill/1850 & 1001): AA'BB' (O'Neill/Krassen). The tune is a version, with slight differences, of William Bradbury Ryan's "New Wedding Reel." O'Neill's reel is very similar to William Bradbury Ryan's "New Wedding Reel," and cognate with, but less similar to R.M. Levey's "New Wedding (The)."
