STACK IN VIRGO.AKA and see "Ag taisdiol na bláirne," "Slainte Righ Pilib (4)," "Stáca an Mhargaidh." Irish, Air (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The air first appears in piper O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Union Pipes(1806) under the title "Stalk en vauraga," which presumably is a phonetic attempt at rendering a title in Irish. Mid-19th century Irish collector Henry Hudson received the melody as "Slainte Righ Pilib (4)." See note for "annotation:Stáca an Mhargaidh for more on this piece.
