Tune properties and standard notation


DOLLY MACDONOUGH. Irish, Planxty. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is attributed to blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), although Donal O'Sullivan (1958), in his definitive work on the bard could find no incontrovertible evidence of its origin.

Source for notated version: the Forde manuscripts. Ford himself noted it from the playing of piper Patrick Conneely [O'Sullivan]

Printed sources: Complete Collection of Carolan's Irish Tunes, 1984; No. 88, p. 70. O’Sullivan (Carolan: The Life, Times and Music of an Irish Harper), 1958, No. 88, p. 148.
