Back to Mother's Delight

MOTHER'S DELIGHT (Aoibhneas na Máthar). AKA and see "Brian Boru's March (1)," "Cameronian Reel (3) (The)," "Malloy's Favorite," "Sean Frank." Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Donegal. D Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Breathnach): AABB (Taylor). "Mother's Delight" was recorded by fiddler James (Jim) Clark (1887-1938) of Drumlish, Co. Longford, in October, 1928 in New York, and later by Paddy Glackin on his first eponymous 1977 LP, played on the viola. See also related (but distanced) "Colonel McBain" (upon which this tune may have been based), and County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman's "Malloy's Favorite." The tune transcribed from the playing of Donegal fiddler John Doherty and mistakenly called the "Cameronian Reel" in Feldman & O'Doherty's book The Northern Fiddler is actually "The Mother's Delight" (see note for "Annotation:Cameronian Reel (3) (The)").
