LASS BENEATH THE BLANKET, THE. AKA - "Braes of Tullachnassa (The)," "Molly Bawn's (2)." Irish, Reel (cut time). G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The key signature in Rev. Luke Donnellan's ms. collection was 'G', however, Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor set the tune in the key of 'F', the resting tonality of the second measure. The tune rests on 'G' at the end of the phrase, and begins on a D minor chord, so the tonality is somewhat obscure.

↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by a unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
