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, 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. [AK] |

"The Pretty Girls of

finds the ‘B’ part of “Fisherman’s Lilt” to be the same as that of “Old John’s Jig” (Port Shean tSeáin),
and thinks the reel was derived from the jig.
The ‘A’ part of
“Fisherman’s Lilt” is similar to the ‘B’ part of “Lady Mary Lindsay” printed by
Glen, who reprinted it from John Riddell’s
collection of 1766. See also the related “Siege of Ennis.” “Funny Eye” is the
title for the melody from a music broadsheet published by Hime in Dublin about
1810, while the “The Pretty Girls of the Village” title comes from Boston
button-accordion player Jerry O’Brien’s Irish
Folk Dance Music (178). O’Neill printed the tune as “Molly what ails you,”
among other titles.

versions: Francis O'Neill learned the tune from an accomplished West Clare
flute player (and Chicago police patrolman) named Patrick "Big Pat"
O'Mahony, a man of prodigious physique of whom he said: "the 'swing' of
his execution was perfect, but instead of 'beating time' with his foot on the
floor like most musicians he was never so much at ease as when seated in a
chair tilted back against a wall, while both feet swung rhythmically like a
double pendulum" [O'Neill, Irish

late 1960’s, playing the melodeon [Plain Brown]. Mulvihill (1st Collection), 1986; No. 7,

Many
older versions are in the key of ‘F’ major, although Joseph Kershaw’s in his
fiddler’s manuscript (from North West England) noted it in ‘D’. “Fisher’s”
appears in numerous musician’s manuscript books from the late 18th
century on (see Ann
Winnington’s music book—Winnington was born in

The
tune became widely popular in a short span of time. It was already known as
"Fisher's Hornpipe" in both
***
Around the Galax, Va., region quite a few fiddlers, like Charlie Higgins, Emmett Lundy and John Rector, played 'Fisher's' in the key of 'G' Major. Harvey Sampson played “Fisher’s” in ‘G’, but also in GDgd tuning! Tommy Jarrell, of nearby Mt. Airy, N.C., plays the tune in 'D' Major, as did his father, Ben Jarrell, though the tune usually appears in 'F' Major in early collections (the earliest American appearance, John Greenwood's flute MS of 1783, has the tune in 'G,' however). 'F' major renditions are still common (along with 'D' Major versions) among fiddlers in central and north Missouri-- though relatively rare in the Ozarks region of the state--perhaps because of the because of the influence of the old town orchestras or brass bands (with flat-keyed wind instruments), radio broadcasts from Canadian fiddlers, and local classically trained music professors. Despite the seeming prevalence of the hornpipe set in 'F' major in early publications, Jim Kimball finds that the John Carroll manuscript collection, copied before 1804, gives "Fisher's" in the key of D Major, as does the John Studderd manuscript, c. 1808-1815, and the John Seely manuscript, c. 1819-1830 (Carroll was an Irish-American military musician stationed at Fort Niagara at the time he wrote his manuscript who apparently played both fife and fiddle; Studderd was a native of England prior to emigrating to western New York state in the 1820's; Seely, according to family history, was a fiddler who lived in western New York state for whom "Fishers" was a favorite tune).
