Irish bagpipes solo, Edison Bell Winner 5219. This very |
|
curious item is a "Set Dance" in the later sense of the |
|
term, a group of tunes for group dancing, as opposed to |
|
the specialty Set Dances for a single dancer, such as the |
|
Blackbird or the Job of Journeywork, which Walsh also |
|
recorded. "Single, Double, Hornpipe" is on the label, but |
|
this trio of tunes are a polka, double jig, and a one |
|
part reel. Polkas were sometimes called "Single reels" |
|
and presumably that is what "Single" refers to. The polka |
|
is "Maggie in the Woods," the jig and reel sound familiar |
|
to me as well. The old name for these "Sets of Dances" |
|
was Quadrille, and the Roche Collections published by |
|
Munster fiddler Frank Roche around 1912 (now available in |
|
one volume from Ossian publishing) have some quadrilles, |
|
none of which match Walsh's tunes, but many more of these |
|
quadrilles are in old collections and manuscripts. |
