DAWN [2], THE. AKA and see "Michael Reilly's Reel," "Seán Ryan's Dream," "Twilight in Portroe." Irish, Reel. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The tune is County Tipperary fiddler Seán Ryan's (1919-1985) "Twilight in Portroe" mistakenly listed on De Danann's 1980 album "Mist Covered Mountain" as "The Dawn." However, the first strains of "Dawn (1) (The)" and "Twilight in Portroe" are similar (the second strains differ). The influence of the group's recording and the similarity of melodic material has cemented "The Dawn" in modern tradition as an alternate title for Ryan's composition.
