Tune of the Day: The Mountaineers' March

Traditional Irish jig

This jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's celebrated collection Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. In a 1906 letter to Alfred Percival Graves, O'Neill identifies his source for this tune:

A police patrolman, Michael Raverty, from Tyrone, my partner on duty thirty years ago, “shortened the night” by quietly whistling “The Mountaineers,” March No. 1,030 in Collection.
