TIPPERARY (Tiobrad-Arainn). Irish, Air (6/8 time, "Lively"). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC. County Tipperary is divided into two sections, or in modern administrative usage, two counties, North Riding and South Riding. These terms are imports from England where the County of Yorkshire is divided into Ridings, albeit three Ridings, North, South and West. The term ‘Riding’ is derived from the word thriding, a variant of the Old English thrithing, itself derived from Old Norse thrithi, meaning a third.
