Thanks to Maria for suggesting this piece!

Tune of the Day: Paddy's Pet

This reel is taken from O'Neill's Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody, published in Chicago in 1922. The source for the tune was Patrick Stack, a Chicago fiddler originally from County Kerry, Ireland. The tune appears to be a variant of Mama's Pet.

Tune of the Day: Study in C major by Prill

This is the very first piece from 30 Etüden in allen Tonarten für Flöte (“30 Studies in All Keys for Flute”), Op. 6, by German flutist Emil Prill. It was first published in Leipzig in 1894.

Tune of the Day: Fugue by Montéclair

This fugue is the ninth and final movement of the third of six Concerts à deux Flutes Traversières sans Basse by French Baroque composer Michel Pignolet de Montéclair. Here the French word concert is a synonym of “suite”, and has nothing to do with the Italian concerto.

Tune of the Day: Allegro by Boismortier

This Allegro is the fourth and final movement of the first sonata from Six Sonates pour la Flûte traversière avec la Basse, Op. 44 by the prolific French Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. These sonatas were originally published in Paris in 1733.

Tune of the Day: Frisky Fanny

This reel is taken from Francis O'Neill's Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody, published in Chicago in 1922. In the collection, O'Neill cites himself as the source for this melody.
