Back to Planxty O'Daly

PLANXTY O'DALY (Pleraca Ua Dalaig). Irish, Air or Planxty (6/8 time, "spirited"). G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune is attributed to blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) by George Petrie, who had it as an untitled planxty or dance air obtained from the sculptor Patrick MacDowell in 1859. Petrie noted it was a variant of "Do What You Please but Take Care of My Cap." O'Neill's setting is the same as Petrie's, although where the "Planxty O'Daly" title came from is not known--O'Sullivan believed O'Neill was wrong employing this title for the tune.
