PATRICK O'CONNOR. Irish, Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB. Dr. Hudson remarks:

This comes also from our “Miscellaneous Collection,” and the individuality of the name, Patrick O’Connor, and its style, both tend to convince us that it is Carolan’s, though not handed down to us as such. Here are his two parts, each of them in three phrases of four bars; composed, not in the vocal flow of the last air, but racy of that wild harp-touch, which characterizes the greater part of his music.
