NEW LESSON, THE (An Leigeann Nuad). AKA and see "'Read-a-med-aisy' (The)," "New Found Out (The)." Irish, Air (6/8 time, "airily"). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Read-a-med-aisy = 'reading made easy'; O'Neill's alternate title. "Billy McCormick's" is sometimes given as an alternate title, but the jig of that name printed in O'Neill's DMI (1907, No. 341) bears no resemblance.

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 488, p. 85.
