RIL ATH THREASNA (The Wide Ford Reel). Irish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Ril ath threasna" is a version of the Scottish "Marquis of Huntly's Highland Fling (1) (The), also printed as "Highland Fling (3)" in Kerr's Merry Melodies (c. 1880's).  Seamus Mac Mathuna notes that the tune is played as a slide in Ciarrai Luachra.  The opening measures (repeated as measures 5 and 6) are similar to those of "Flax in Bloom (The)," but the melody then diverges.
