NÓINÍN CONNACHTACH, AN (The Connaught Daisy {from Coady}). Irish, Air (3/4 time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Editor O'Sullivan (1983) thinks the piece a harp-melody rather than a song air. He chooses to print Bunting's MS version rather than the one printed in his 1840 collection (which was noted from Hugh Higgins, the harper, noted in 1792); the versions are not similar except for some resemblances in title, meter, rhythm and phrase lengths. The Higgins version O'Sullivan thinks related to "Bonnáin Buí (An)." Source for notated version: Bunting noted the tune from James Coady the piper. O'Sullivan/Bunting, 1983; No. 114, pp. 164-165.
