Back to Fox's Sleep (The)

FOX'S SLEEP, THE (Codlad An Sionnaig). AKA - "Foxes Sleep (The)." AKA and see "When He Who Adores Thee." Irish, Slow Air (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Ó Canainn): AB (O'Neill). The alternate title, "When He Who Adores Thee", comes from the name of a Thomas Moore song set to the air. John Mulholland's (1810) air [1] is similar in the first strain to the version given by O'Neill, but diverges in the second strain, albeit maintaining a similar, if distanced, melodic contour.
