ROSE IN THE GAP, THE. Irish; Reel, Highland, Clog or March (whole time). E Dorian and Bm. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC: ABCD (Donnellan, O'Connor). "Rose in the Gap" is contained in the music manuscript collection in the possession of biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1962), a curate and fiddler from the Oriel region, south Ulster. Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor notes that the name "Roshy Atta" was written with the tune in the original manuscript, perhaps a phonetic attempt, he suggests, for "An Rös atá sa Bhearna."
