MISS BRUCE [1] (Ingean Ni Brusac). AKA - "Miss Bruce's Reel." Irish, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was printed in The Hibernia Collection edited by Patrick O'Flannagan and published in Boston in 1860 by Elias Howe. O'Flannagan's title was "Miss Bruce's Reel", despite being in 6/8 time. Formerly, the name 'reel' in a title for a 6/8 tune often was associated with a winding dance figure, rather than being a metrical denotation.

Source for notated version: Chicago Police Sergeant and fiddler James O’Neill, served as transcriber and who helped Francis O’Neill compile his Music of Ireland (1903).

Printed sources: O'Flannagan (The Hibernia Collection), 1860; p. 18 (as "Miss Bruce's Reel"). O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; p. 74. O'Neill (1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 751, p. 140.
