EILEEN AROON [3] (Eilionóir a Rúin). Irish, Air (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Ó Canainn): ABC (O'Sullivan/Bunting). See Annotation:Eileen Aroon (1) for notes on the tune and "Eileen Aroon (2)" for older versions.

Source for notated version: Bunting noted his version from the harper "Denis Hempson at Magilligan in 1792," who played variation by the famous harper Cornelius Lyons from the turn of the 18th century. Lyons had made a reputation as the arranger of variations to such tunes as this and "The Coolin" in a more 'modern' style.

Printed sources: Ó Canainn (Traditional Slow Airs from Ireland), 1995; No. 37, pg. 35. O'Sullivan/Bunting, 1983; No. 123, pp. 175-178.
