LET US LEAVE THAT AS IT IS (Fagaimiod Sud Mar ata Se). AKA and see "Barndoor Jig (The)," "Old Barndoor Jig (The)," "Darby O'Leary," "Fagamaoid Sud Mar Ata Se," "Galbally Farmer," "Get Up Early," "Leave that As It Is," "Rakes of Kildare (The)," "'Twas on the First of May Brave Boys." Irish, Air or Jig (6/8 time, "gaily" says O'Neill and "lively, but somewhat slower than Jig time" states Joyce). A Dorian (Bayard, Joyce, O'Neill): A Mixolydian (Emmerson, Petrie): F Major/Mixolydian (Howe, Joyce): G Minor (Stanford/Petrie). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Bayard, Howe, Joyce, O'Neill): AAB (Emmerson, Stanford/Petrie). A widespread Irish tune with numerous names; Joyce states it was "well known all over the Munster counties" when he was collecting. O'Neill (1913) and Emmerson (1971) state it is an early jig set of the hornpipe "First of May (The)," which may be derivative. A march version was collected in southwestern Pa. by Bayard (1981, No. 603, p. 533).
