Anna Thug Mi Gradh Dhuit

Composed by Captain Simon Fraser. The tune “celebrates the beauty of a young lady, in terms which she thinks so very far beyond her due, that she requested her name to remain uncommunicated” (Fraser). Source for notated version: Allan MacDonald (b. 1950, Bangor, North-East Kings County, Prince Edward Island) [Perlman].

Anna Thug Mi Gradh Dhuit, X:5

This is a whistle/flute setting I learned yesterday from Linda Hickman. She learned it from Paddy Joe Tigue, who called it by the name Up Boyle’s Hilleen, which I’ve added as an alt title. I think it’s close enough to the main line of Annie is my Darling to be added here rather than as a separate tune. But I could be convinced otherwise…

I learned this as The Missing Reel in D, it is here on the Session, almost the same.
