ORPHAN [2], THE. Irish, Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Ciaran Carson (Last Night's Fun, 1996) points out the tune is a jig version of "Star of the County Down (The)." A similar meldoy is "Miss Casey (1)" in O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903, No 1094), as is Margaret Barry and Michael Gorman's "[Strayaway Child]]." Caoimhin Mac Aoidh informs that the tune is associated with fiddler Seamus Connoly, who recorded it as a 'separator' (the musical interlude between segments of a radio broadcast). It was heavily used by the influential Monday night RTE program "The Long Note" in the 1970's and became a popular part of traditional musicians' repertory throughout Ireland soon after.
