Bridget Cruise (1st Setting)

Not a waltz, but a slow air. First of four similarly-named airs published in O’Sullivan. Carolan: life, times and music of an Irish harper vol.1 p.179-180. Indexed in the new Vaughan Williams Memorial Library site http://www.vwml.org.uk/search.

Re: Bridget Cruise No.1

There are four distinct “Bridget Cruise” O’Carolan’s. The first setting above is the No.1 version.

The second setting above is actually a different tune entirely the No.3 - see: https://thesession.org/tunes/6907

Setting 2 here is a duplicate of that No.3 entry.
