MARY O'NEILL [1]. AKA - "Planxty Mary O'Neill." AKA and see "Carolan's Favorite Jig," "Horse in the Pound (The)," "Humors of Dublin (2) (The)," "Rutland Jig (The)." Irish, Air (6/8 time). D Mixolydian (Complete Collection): D Major/Mixolydian (Stanford/Petrie). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC. Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). The tune appears in the James Goodman manuscript (vol. IV, p. 1) as "[[Horse in the Pound (The)," and as "Carolan's Favourite Jig" in Stanford/Petrie (1905). Breathnach (1996) gives a County Leitrim title as "Rutland Jig (The)." Further afield the melody was printed by the Gows in their Complete Repository (1799, vol. 1, 36) under the title "[[Humors of Dublin (2) (The)."
