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 after pasting, 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.

little more than 50 years ago, there was no shepherd in the Highlands of
Scotland, while, antecedent to that period, the whole care of the flocks
devolved on a shepherdess, generally a firl in her teens, a period when love
flutters round the heart, and may account in part for the number of love songs
which are to be found of a pastoral turn in all ages, ‑‑ while the
occupation of people more advanced in life afford less scope for them"

SHERLOCK'S FANCY. AKA and see "Jack Maguire's Reel," "The Snake." Irish, Reel.. D Major. Standard
tuning. AB. The title refers to flute and whistle player Roger Sherlock, with
whom the tune is associated. Sherlock was originally from County Mayo, directly
on the border with County Sligo, and he is an inheritor of the south
Sligo/north Roscommon musical tradition, although he spent much of his adult
life in London where he played famously with other Irish émigrés throughout the
1950's and 1960's. He was the source for Breathnach's "Jack
Maguire's" (CRÉ III, 105).

"The words of this rude, though very popular, ballad were printed from a
broadsheet in Duffy's Ballad Poetry of Ireland.
I have also a copy on a printed sheet not differing materially from this. I
give the opening verse here. Hugh Reynolds was executed in Cavan in the year
1826, for housebreaking and attempted abduction. Pretty full details of the
tragedy are given by Duffy along with the song. I knew 'Catherine MacCabe'
about fifty years ago: but she was then a married woman, and of course bore a
different name. The air has not been printed till now” (Joyce).
***
My name it is Hugh Reynolds, I come of decent parents,
Near Cavan I was born as you may plainly see;
By loving of a maid, one Catherine MacCabe,
My life it is betrayed‑‑she's the dear maid to me.
***
The maid being referred to as
"dear" is an idiom meaning "I have paid dearly for her"‑‑"she
has cost me dearly" (Joyce). Joyce (Old
Irish Folk Music and Songs), 1909; No. 285, pg. 135.

and fiddle, and was known as a poet as well. His branch of the Grants were
supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie, to whom he composed a poem of welcome in
1745. Though the elderly man did not take part in the battle of Culloden, he
was denounced by loyal members of the Grant family and was imprisoned in
