WHEN I PARTED. AKA and see “Trip to Sligo (1).” English, Scottish; Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is a popular one in Irish tradition where it is called "Trip to Sligo (1)," and, in Francis O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903), "Lark in the Morning (3)." Famed County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman (1891–1945) recorded the tune as "Daughtery's Jig." However, it was a composition of Scottish fiddler-composer biography:John Anderson (1737-1808) as "When I Parted," from his c. 1790 collection Collection of New Highland Strathspey Reels For the Violin or German Flute. Anderson died in Inverness.
