GATHER UP THE MONEY. Irish, Jig (6/8 time). E Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Petrie noted that the jig was a version of the vocal air "Paisdin Fionn," and was played by pipers and fiddlers in Munster "when they desire, through its name, to convey a significant hint to the dancers to their music that they think it time to receive some pecuniary reward for their services." It was also played, explains Petrie, as a petticotee movement,--an old dance that was once fashionable in Ireland, usually performed directly after the stately movement of the minuet.
Additional notes Source for notated version : - "Richard Morrison, Esq." [Petrie]. Morrison was a Doctor of Medicine in Dublin and Walcot, near Bray.
