HUMORS OF PASSAGE, THE (Sugra na Intaig). Irish, Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Passage West [1] (An Pasáiste Thiar) is a village in County Cork on Cork Harbor on the Atlantic ocean, near Monkstown. It has been a primary spot for sea bathing since the 19th century. The earliest appearance of the tune in print is in R.M. Levey's First Collection of the Dance Music of Ireland (1858, London) and P.M. Haverty's One Hundred Irish Airs, vol. 2 (1858, New York). It also was entered into Church of Ireland cleric and uilleann piper Canon biography:James Goodman's mid-19th century music manuscripts (vol. iii, p. 119). Goodman (1828-1896) was an uilleann piper and an Irish speaker who collected locally in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster. He also obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed collections.
