|Tune properties and standard notation

 DOCTOR GILBERT (An Dochtúir Gilibeart). AKA - "Dr. Gilbert's Fancy Concert Reel." AKA and see "The Dispute at the Crossroads," "The Loughros Point Reel." Irish, Reel. E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Famously recorded by Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945) in New York in 1929, and since associated with his name. Seán Keane identifies it a "good reel from the north Midlands and Sligo areas," and something of a fiddle test-piece. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh gives that it is most likely that the Dr. Gilbert referred to in the title was a scholar who in 1717 became Vice-Provost and Professor of Divinity at Trinity College, Dublin. His bust is still displayed in the Long room of the Library of the college that houses the Book of Kells.
