HILLS OF GLENORCHIE [2], THE. AKA and see "House of Clonelphin (The)." Irish, Single Jig. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The two parts of the melody were printed by P.W. Joyce (1909) as "House of Clonelphin (The)." The first strain is shared with "Paddy McFadden's Jig (3)," in the mid-19th century James Goodman manuscript. Samuel Bayard collected a song air and dance tune version in the 1930's from an informant who lived in Massachusetts, but who had been born in County Cork. She called it "You are my love in the hay all night."

Source for notated version: Joe Keegan, father of fiddler and pianist Josephine Keegan, and himself a flute player, "from the County Laois side of Partartington" [McGuire & Keegan].
