Notation
Note: The tunes below are recorded in what
is called “abc notation.” They
can easily be converted to standard musical notation via highlighting with
your cursor starting at “X:1” through to the end of the abc’s, then
“cutting-and-pasting” the highlighted notation into one of the many abc
conversion programs available, or at concertina.net’s incredibly handy “ABC
Convert-A-Matic” at http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html **Please note that the abc’s in the Fiddler’s
Companion work fine in most abc conversion programs. For example, I use
abc2win and abcNavigator 2 with no problems whatsoever with direct
cut-and-pasting. However, due to an anomaly of the html, pasting the abc’s
into the concertina.net converter results in double-spacing. For
concertina.net’s conversion program to work you must remove the spaces
between all the lines of abc notation after pasting, so that they are
single-spaced, with no intervening blank lines. This being done, the F/C abc’s will convert to standard notation nicely. Or, get a
copy of abcNavigator 2 – its well worth it.

in County Armagh in the early 19th century, and lent his energies to civic
improvement. He constructed most of the

***
By the Blackwater side, not far from
Castle-Hyde, there dwells a most beautiful creature;
She’s slender tall and straight, and in
beauty quite complete, and charming in every feature,
I met her the other day as I roved along the
way, and I asked where my darling was going;
She said she meant to go as far as
Templenoe, and I begged to accompany my storeen.
***
Another song set to the melody begins:
***
One morning fair as Phoebus bright her radiant
charms displayed,
And Flora in her mantle green those verdant
plains arrayed.
As I did rove throughout each grove, no care
did me assail,
Till a pair I spied by the water side in Dobbins flowery vale.

DOC BOYD'S JIG. Canadian, Jig. C Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Credited to one John
Burt in Jarman, but Bayard (1981) considers it a set of a tune also known as
"The Republican Set" and
"Old Jubiter," but also
says these kinds of tunes are representative of tunes formed by swapping,
adapting and shifting of familiar strains or sections of other tunes. Jarman (Cornhuskers Book of Square Dance Tunes),
1944; pg. 24.

BREAKDOWN. Old-Time, Breakdown. From

American fiddling through the Grand Masters Fiddler’s Contest, held each year
at Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee. The tune was popularized by fiddler Howdy

DOCHTÚIR SEÁN Ó HAIRT, AN (Doctor John Hart). Irish, Air (3/4 time). B Flat Major
(O’Sullivan/Bunting): A Major (Complete Collection). Standard tuning. AB (Complete Collection): AABB
(O’Sullivan/Bunting). Both the words and melody to this air are by blind Irish
harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), who may have composed more than one air
in honor of John Hart (as suggested by Charles O'Conor of Benagare), though no
others have surfaced to date. O'Sullivan (1983) reports on the history of the
once beloved Dr. Hart, who was appointed a bishop of the See of Achonry in 1735
(and probably died around 1739). Under the English Penal Laws no Catholic could
hold legal title to land, therefore many of that faith made arrangements with a
Protestant friend to assume legal responsibility and hold the property in trust
-- a practice rarely abused, according to O'Sullivan. Dr. Hart proved an
exception, however, for his Protestant neighbor (a man named Betteridge) took
for his own Cloonmahon, the doctor's estate (along with his brother Charles) in
County Sligo, to which the doctor had no recourse under the law. Another Protestant neighbor, one O'Hara of
Annaghbeg, seeing the injustice took Dr. Hart in, supported him, and "did
all that courtesy and kindness could do to make up for the loss of Cloonmahon"
(O'Rorke, 1878). The bishop was famed for his hospitality and kindness,
especially to birds, which, if he found caged, he would endeavor to release. A
charming legend has it that at the doctor's funeral the birds of the region
gathered to chant his requiem.
***
The air was mentioned by blind Irish
harper Arthur O’Neill (1734-1818) in his memoirs. O’Neill, who had been
journeying after the second harp competition at Granard in 1782, travelled from
patron to patron, stopping for a time at the house of Ned Conway near Newtown
Stewart, County Tyrone. “He had a daughter that played the harp uncommon well.
Miss Conway and I were closeted together for three weeks exchanging tunes. She
gave me ‘Dr. Hart’ and I gave her ‘Madgey Malone’ and several other tunes
mutually that I cannot remember at present. But I left the house on the best of
terms…” It was recorded by the Belfast
Northern Star of
