OPEN THE DOOR FOR (TO) THREE [3] (Oscal an dorus do tri). Irish, Slip Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill): AABB (Kennedy). A variant of the melody printed by Gow, and still more distanced from the one-strain English version printed by Playford (for which see “Open the Door to Three (1)”). All three versions are recognizably cognate.

Source for notated version: O'Neill later in life obtained this version of the tune from the manuscripts of Timothy Downing, a gentleman farmer of Tralibane, County Cork, who taught O'Neill the rudiments of the flute when the latter was a boy during the 1860's [O'Neill/Irish Folk Music].

Printed sources: Cotter (Traditional Irish Tin Whistle Tutor), 1989; 59. Kennedy (Fiddler's Tune-Book: Slip Jigs and Waltzes), 1999; No. 56, p. 13. O'Neill (Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems), 1907; No. 449, p. 88.
