SALL'S DELIGHT. AKA - "Sally's Delight." Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title is given as “Sally's Delight” in the index of O’Farrell’s volume, but appears as "Sall's Delight" on the page with the tune. An exact copy of O'Farrell's reel was entered into Book 2 (p. 179)[1] of the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist).
Additional notes
Source for notated version : - James Goodman (1828-1896) obtained the reel from the music manuscript collections of Seán Ó Dálaigh (John O'Daly, 1800-1878), the great nineteenth-century scribe; compiler and collector of manuscripts; editor; anthologist; publisher of Gaelic verse and stories and founder of societies for the publication of Gaelic literature, best-known today for his volume Poets and Poetry of Munster (1849). O’Daly was born in the Sliabh gCua area of west Waterford and was, like Goodman, a teacher of Irish.
Printed sources : - O'Farrell (Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes, vol. II), c. 1806; p. 84.
