Notes

The tune commemorates the great fiddlers of the past: Michael Coleman, Kipeen Scanlon, and a host of unheralded ones who went to the clay unrecognized. The history of Ireland is a fiddle. It alone can convey the sounds and feelings of sad gaiety that characterize the plight of that long-troubled land.
