Irish, Single Jig. G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A variant of the jig form of "Greensleeves." The 'bunch of roses' was a common name for the red-coated British Army (which always had a large number of Irish conscripts), but also refers symbolically to the union of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The tune appeared in Irish violinist R.M. Levey's first collection (1858) as "Bunch of Currents (1)." Paddy O'Brien, James Kelly and Dáithí Sproule recorded it under the title "Spring in the Air." See also the related "Shady Lane.
