The Maid In The Meadow jig

The jig version of "The Green Fields Of America" - or is it the other way round?

I know ‘maid in the meadow’ reel, any relation to this jig?

Looks like G Major to me, not D Mix.

Morrison’s Jig (2) by Mary Custy and Eoin O’Neill

From "Mary Custy and Eoin O’Neill: The ways of the world" album (track 9) you can find 2 Morrison’s jigs, the 1st is the Em famous one, the 2nd is this one.

Watch John Carlos of Roscommon play this jig with other classic tunes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrW3Byog9LM

He is a fine flute player too.

The first part of the reel version, and the 2nd part of the jig version.
-But do they go well together?!

S: “Jimmy Doyle & Dan O’Leary: Traditional Music From The Kingdom Of Kerry”
https://thesession.org/recordings/1247 ~ track 13 (side 2, track 6), the 1st jig of two.

Q: 134 bpm (1 beat = three quavers/eighth notes)

I have also learned this one direct as well from other living sources and situations where the average tempos varied from 120 to 136 bpm (1 beat = three quavers/eighth notes)…

See https://thesession.org/tunes/12210

Taken from ‘A Fine Selection of Over 200 Irish Traditional Tunes for Sessions’, compiled by David Speers with a Forward by Matt Cranitch. This version is probably closest to X:1 but I’ve added it for the few differences.

This tune is titled "Mist on the Mountain" on a 1927 record by Frank Quinn & Joe Maguire.

… unless the OP on that site made a mistake ?!

Was surprised to find that this tune wasn’t on The Session yet, so went ahead and added it… This is a transcription from North Cregg.

It is already here, in the original Key of G, under the title "The Maid In The Meadow" aka Molly Brallaghan.

That explains why my ABC search also turned up zero hits… I was looking in the wrong key!

"Different " key.
