SUPPLE DANCER, THE (An rinceoir luat). Irish, Hornpipe (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. James O'Neill's researcher and biographer, Caoimhin Mac Aoidh, is of the opinion this tune was one of a few that James O'Neill himself composed and that it was perhaps named for his next-door neighbor, Chicago Police Sergeant Michael Hartnett (also the source for a few tunes in the O'Neill collections). Curiously, it was not included in Francis O'Neill's followup volume, Dance Music of Ireland (1907).


Additional notes
Source for notated version : - J. O'Neill [O'Neill]. Chicago police Sergeant James O'Neill was a musically literate fiddler originally from County Down. He served as Francis O'Neill's transcriber and collaborator on his early volumes.

Printed sources : - O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; p. 184. O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 1646, p. 306.
