Tune of the Day: The Field of Flowers
Traditional Irish jig
This jig appears to be unique to Chicago Police captain Francis O'Neill's early-20th-century collections Music of Ireland (1903) and The Dance Music of Ireland (1907). It is however related to an 18th-century tune known as “The Girl I Love”, which is attributed to the Irish gentleman piper Larry Grogan.
