Tune properties and standard notation


JOHN DRURY [2]. Irish, Planxty (3/4 time). G Dorian (O'Sullivan): E Minor (S. Johnson). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (S. Johnson): AB (O'Sullivan). Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). Edward Bunting's (1773-1843) title for the tune was "Faulte goh Kingsland or Plangsty Kingsland." O'Sullivan (1958) finds the tune in the Forde manuscripts "John Drury" three separate times; as "Sorry to Part" (from Patrick Carey), "Caitín a Stór" (O'Farrell) and "Caitín mo Stór" (Deasy"). See note for "John Drury (1)" for O'Sullivan's notes on the subject of the title.

Source for notated version: harper Arthur O'Neill [Bunting].
