Tune of the Day: O'Gallagher's Frolics

Traditional Irish jig

This jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's celebrated collection Music or Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. The melody, set in major mode, predates O'Neill's publication by twenty years, appearing in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) as “Golliher's Frolic”. It is possible O'Neill altered the title to honor piper Charles O'Gallagher, a member, like O'Neill, of Chicago's Irish Music Club at the turn of the 20th century.
