Tune of the Day: The Man Who Died and Rose Again

Traditional Irish jig

This jig is taken from Chicago Police Captain Francis O'Neill's 1903 collection Music of Ireland. His source was the celebrated uilleann piper Patsy Touhey, and about him he later wrote, in Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby (1910):

No one but an Irishman would thing of naming an air or a tune “The Man Who Died and Rose Again.” Where Patrick Touhey, the famous piper, obtained this rare unpublished jig, we are unable to say.
