TULLOCH GORM [2]. AKA - "Tullygoram Reel (The)." Scottish, Irish; Strathspey or Reel. A Minor (O'Neill): A Mixolydian (O'Connor). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A modal variant of "Tulloch Gorum (1)." O’Neill (1922) erroneously attributes the tune to the Scottish fiddler/composer William Marshall. A reel-time setting of the tune under the title "Tullygoram Reel" is contained in the late 19th/early 20th century music manuscript once in the possession of curate and fiddler biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1952), Oriel region, south Ulster^[1].

↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by an unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
