FAREWELL TO ERIN [1] (Slán le hÉireann). AKA and see "Austin Tierney's," "Cherry Tree (1) (The)," "Down with the Tea Tacklings," "Farewell to Ireland (2)," "Flying Column (2) (The)," "Maid in the Cherry Tree (2) (The)." Irish, Reel. D Major or Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. In O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1850) the tune is printed with one sharp (although this may be a misprint) indicating the mixolydian mode. O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland (1001 Gems), a later edition, has the melody in two sharps. See "Farewell to Erin (2) for more modern developments of the tune.
