BRIDE OF KILDARE. AKA and see "Duke of Gordon's Rant (The)," "Lord Gordon's Reel," "Pride of Kildare (3)." Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC. The tune is a version of McGlashan's "Duke of Gordon's Rant (The)" (c. 1787), more famously "Lord Gordon's Reel." Brendan Breathnach had "Pride of Kildare (3)" as an alternate title for "Lord Gordon's Reel" and it seems likely that Ryan's "Bride of Kildare" is a mishearing on the part of Ryan, or a mistake by a type-setter during the printing process, who had trouble distinguishing 'B' from 'P' on his copy.
