BRAES OF GLENORCHY [2] (Braigh Ghlinn Urchaidh). Scottish, Jig. The tune appears first in print in Alexander Mackay's 1805 collection. It is an early setting of the jig better known as "The Jolly Corkonian" or "Hills of Glenorchy." Gore (A Fiddler's Book of Scottish Jigs), 1997.
CAPTAIN HOLMES. AKA and see "Cornelius Curtin's Big Balloon," "Hide and Go Seek." American, Irish; Jig. E Dorian. Standard. AABB. The tune has been identified as a "Hills of Glenorchy" variant. Cole (1001 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; pg. 70.
HILLS OF GLENORCHY [1]. AKA - "Hills of Glenurchie" AKA and see "Braes of Glenorchy," "The Jolly Corkonian," "Pat Burke's." Scottish, Canadian; Jig, Quickstep or Pipe March (6/8 time). Canada, Cape Breton. A Mixolydian (Dunlay & Greenberg, Dunlay & Reich): A Mixolydian (Neil): D Dorian (Gatherer): E Dorian/Minor (Cole, Gow, Hinds, Kerr, Martin). Standard. AABB (Cole, Hinds, Kerr, Martin): AABB' (Dunlay & Reich): AABB'A'A'BB' (Dunlay & Greenberg). One of, or perhaps the, earliest setting of the tune is to be found in Alexander Mackay's collection of c. 1805 under the title "Braes of Glenorchy." Dunlay & Reich (whose Cape Breton version seems slightly altered) identify this as a pipe tune usually appearing in E minor; the variations are easier to play in E minor or in A minor an octave down, and the authors say its a good tune for octave harmonies or 'doubling' the melody. Bayard (1981) remarks that the melody should be categorized as one of the "Hillside" group of tunes (See note for "Hillside"). See also variants "Lark in the Morning," "Trip to Galway" and "Katy is Waiting." Gatherer's (1987) first version is a pipe tune, as is Neil's (1991). See also the cognates "The Old Grey Cat," "Smuggler's Reel," the jig "The Rollicking Boys of Tandaragee," and the Northumbrian air "The Wild Hills of Wannie." Lorrie MacKinnon found a Gaelic verse to "Hills of Glenorch" in The Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness (1917), which goes:
***
Loisg a' chailleach a casan air eibhleig (x3)
'S chuireadh i feum air ola nan ron
(The old lady burned her feet on an ember and she used seal oil on it).
***

LARK IN THE MORNING [1]. AKA and see "House in the Glen." Irish, Double Jig. D Major (Brody, Mallinson, Miller & Perron, Moylan, Phillips, Spandaro, Tubridy): D Mixolydian (Mitchell). Standard. AAB (Mitchell): AABB (Mitchell, Phillips, Spandaro): ABCC'D (Moylan): AABBCCDD (Brody, Mallinson, Miller & Perron, Mulvihill, Tubridy): AABB'CC'D (Mitchell). See also "An Buachaillín Buí," "Come in the Evening," "Galloway Tom," "Galway Tom," "Galway Town," "The Goat's Horn," "The Kelso Races," "The Little Yellow Boy," "The Spotted Cow," "The Thrush's Nest," "The Welcome," "A Western Lilt," "The Yellow Little Boy." Largely due to the influence of Co. Sligo/New York fiddler James Morrison, this tune has been associated with "The Wandering Minstrel" and the two are often played together, as they were by source O'Leary. Willie Clancy declared he had the tune from his mother, Ellen Killeen, a singer and concertina player from Ennistymon. Martin Mulvihill gives this tune for the longdance The Seige of Ennis. The tune has been identified as a variant of "Hills of Glenorchy." "Lark in the Morning" can be heard in the mid-1990's film "The Devil's Own" during the house-party scene in honor of Harrison Ford's film daughter's Confirmation. The fiddler is none other than New York's famous Paddy Reynolds, shown for an instant.

OLD GREY CAT. AKA and see "Smuggler's Reel." Scottish, Reel; American, Polka. USA; New England, Northwest. E Dorian (Kerr, Lerwick, Phillips, Songer, Sweet): E Minor (Miller & Perron). Standard. AB (Kerr): AABB (Jarman, Lerwick, Miller & Perron, Phillips, Songer, Sweet). Charles Gore identifies 'the old grey cat' as Sean Liath, an Irish cat. He finds Scottish printings only as far back as the 1880's, where it is listed as an Irish tune, and does not find it in the listings of Great Highland Bagpipe repertoire. The first part of the tune is shared with "The Night We Made the Match" and an untitled Pennsylvania-collected reel (Bayard, 1981; No. 140 pg. 76). Infrequently, selected pizzicato note(s) are used as a variation. See "Cattle in the Cane" for a possible cognate in American old-time tradition. Triple time versions of the tune are the jigs "The Rollicking Boys of Tandaragee" and "The Hills of Glenorchy," and the Northumbrian air "The Wild Hills of Wannies."
