Notes Paul De Grae
This is the tenth and final set of Denis Murphy tunes selected by Aidan Connolly for the fiddle recital on 18 May. I will shortly combine all ten sets into a booklet which will be available for free download as a .pdf or Word document; the booklet will contain additional text, photos, and links to the archive recordings of Denis Murphy from which these sets have been selected.

Soundcloud link to slow recording by Aidan is below; ABCs below also.



10. Reels: Sliabh Maol, The Game Cock.

Sliabh Maol, or Maol Mountain, is for some reason now called Barr an Bheithe ("high place of the birch"), anglicised as Baraveha; perhaps because it's now covered in conifer plantations and is no longer "maol" (bald). At 451m, it is the highest hill in the east Kerry area; in a valley on its flank rises the mighty Blackwater river. The blind fiddler Philip Walsh lived there, and may have composed this reel; Breandán Breathnach printed it as "Walsh's Reel" in "Ceol Rince na hÉireann", vol. 1, no. 70, from the fiddler Dennis Cronin. Whether Philip Walsh or not, whoever composed this reel somehow managed to make something fresh while using the much hackneyed opening gambit of some variant of a G major arpeggio.

The second tune is descended from the Scottish reel, "The Game Cock", in vol. 6 of James Aird's "Selections" (1803); that title is used in "Ceol Rince na hÉireann", vol. 4, no. 62 (as a slide) and vol. 5, no. 158, as a reel. The slide came, untitled, from the David Collins mss.; the reel was played for Breathnach by Denis Murphy and Mollie Myers Murphy (no relation: her husband Willie Murphy was a nephew of Tom Billy Murphy). The CRÉ transcription shows just two parts; the third part shown here differs only by one note from the first part, but is worth having anyway. Denis and Mollie played the parts in this order: A-B-C-B-A-B-C-B.

Jackie Daly composed a different third part, and christened the reel "The Bog Carrot"; he recorded it on the first Buttons and Bows album. "Sound as a bog carrot" is a phrase that Jackie heard used by Jackie Small (coincidentally the editor of vols. 4 and 5 of CRÉ). To avoid confusion, it seems useful to continue to use "The Game Cock" as the title for the version without Jackie Daly's third part.

WFD Recital 2024: Set No 10

This is the ninth set of Denis Murphy tunes selected by Aidan Connolly for the fiddle recital on 18 May. Soundcloud link to slow recording by Aidan is below; ABCs below also.

9. Jigs: Rattle the Quilt, The Stick Across the Hob.

The first jig is another tune that Breandán Breathnach transcribed from Denis's playing in 1966; it is no. 53 in vol. 5 of "Ceol Rince na hÉireann". In that book Jackie Small writes: "Printed in Treoir, Vol. 2, number 3, p12, as 'Tom Billy's Jig', where there is a note with it: 'see Padraig Ó Caoimh's manuscript'." The book version lacks the third part shown here, which however is really just a variation on the first part.

"Rattle the Quilt" is a variant of "Apples in Winter", in a higher key; the first parts are more or less the same, the others less similar. Denis's nice four-part version of "Apples in Winter" is on the RTÉ CD of his music; it is similar to the version in "Ceol Rince na hÉireann", vol. 2, no. 33, from County Limerick fiddler James McEnery, titled "The Unfortunate Rake", which Breathnach said was Philip Walsh's setting; Walsh was a blind fiddler from Maol Mountain, near the Murphy home in Lisheen, the source of "Walsh's Hornpipe", among other tunes.

The second tune is a wonderful version of one of the best-known jigs in the repertoire, usually known as "Morrison's", because it was popularised by Sligo fiddling legend James Morrison on a 1936 recording made in New York. Morrison got it from a member of his band, accordion player Tom Carmody from Dromlought, near Listowel in North Kerry, who in turn had it from his father Maurice. Morrison recorded it as "Maurice Carmody's Favourite" (apparently one batch was mis-labelled "Maurice Comedy's Favourite"), but it was known in Kerry as "The Stick Across the Hob". Johnny O'Leary played a three-part version, basically the same as Denis's, which he got from Pádraig O'Keeffe in Lyons' pub in Scartaglin, and christened it "Lyons' Favourite"; it's in Terry Moylan's book of Johnny's music, no. 198. The three-part version is sometimes called "O'Keeffe's Morrison's", but Pádraig didn't have to go to Morrison for it; the tune never left Kerry.

The repeat of the second part is written out in full to show some variations. As before, long notes would be ornamented.

WFD Recital 2024 : Set No 9

Notes - Paul De Grae This is the third set of Denis Murphy tunes selected by Aidan Connolly for the fiddle recital on 18 May. Soundcloud link to slow recording by Aidan is below; ABCs below also.

3. Slides: Barrack Hill, If I Had a Wife.

This set was recorded by Johnny O'Leary on the album, "Johnny O'Leary of Sliabh Luachra"  (Craft CRCD01), which was produced to accompany Terry Moylan's book of the same name; in that book, Johnny says of the second tune, "The Chieftains got it from myself and Denis", after Paddy Moloney and Seán Keane visited Kerry and spent several days listening to them play.

"Barrack Hill" was first printed under that title in the Stanford/Petrie "Complete Collection", no. 926; a similar but not identical setting is in O'Neill's "Dance Music of Ireland", no. 410. Petrie commented: "This kind of jig is called in Munster a single jig. It had a peculiar kind of dance. Same as a Scotch tune." The latter reference is presumably to the strathspey, "The Haughs of Cromdale", from which this tune does indeed seem to have been derived.

Polkas and slides are notorious for having no titles, or else being named for whoever last played them; the "Barrack Hill" title probably stuck because at one time every town would have had a military garrison, an essential feature of life if the natives fail to appreciate the benefits of occupation by a foreign power. Those Royal Irish Constabulary barracks that survived The War of Independence were quite often used as dance halls in the 1920s.

The first tune has acquired a song, beginning "The Cat Jumped into the Mouse's Hole and Didn't come Down 'til Morning", a sung version of the first phrase, which is how the dancers would identify it for a visiting musician unfamiliar with local tune titles. The full version is in the sleeve notes of the Johnny O'Leary album.

The title "If I Had a Wife" serves a similar mnemonic purpose; the verse is sung on The Chieftains recording: "If I had a wife,/ The plague of my life,/ I'll tell you what I'd do:/ I'd buy her a boat/ And set her afloat,/ And paddle my own canoe." An ornamented transcription of Denis's playing of it is in Breandán Breathnach's "Ceol Rince na hÉireann", vol. 2, no. 70, as "Nellie Mahony's Slide; Breathnach notes that Denis also called it "Mad Dancing."

WFD Recital 2024 : Set No 3

Notes - Paul De Grae
This is the first set of Denis Murphy tunes selected by Aidan Connolly for the fiddle recital on 18 May. Soundcloud link to slow recording by Aidan is below; ABCs below also.

1. Polkas: The Five Servants, Julia Clifford's.

"The Five Servants" is a story in "Grimm's Fairy Tales" by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. There were six servants in the original German story, but the English translation by Edgar Taylor was bowdlerised so as not to frighten the children, and one of the servants with magical powers was omitted. Perhaps it found favour as a polka title because the over-the-top powers of the servants have parallels in Irish mythology.

The second polka was recorded by Julia on the album, "The Humours of Lisheen"; it came from her and Denis's father, Bill "The Waiver" Murphy. In a slightly different setting and with parts reversed, it's the first in the set of "Millstreet Polkas" popularised by Jackie Daly.
