This is from CRE5. Breathnach got this tune from the Kerry fiddler Denis Murphy, who worked in the Bronx Zoo during his time in America. Coincidence … ?
I commemorated this in a poem/song that you might enjoy: http://www.capeirish.com/scripta/poetry/zoo.pdf.
The tune, especially Part B, would remind you of "Frank Roche’s".
