MORNING STAR [5], THE (An Maidineog). Irish, Air (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part.

The Irish Music Club, Chicago, very early 20th century. James Kerwin is the right-hand flute player, reclining on the floor.

Source for notated version: "James Kerwin" [O'Neill]. Chicago Police Sergeant James Kerwin was a member of the Irish Music Club of Chicago, who hosted club meetings and music sessions in his home on Wabash Ave. O'Neill twice in Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1913) makes mention of his hospitality, but records nothing about him as a musician or his background.

Printed sources: O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 422, p. 73.
