BATTLE OF AUGHRIM [2], THE. Irish, March (2/4 time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. O'Neill (1922) says: "To the musical antiquary war cries and battle pieces may not be without interest. To the modern ear they possess but little attraction; yet when Martin O'Reilly, the blind piper from Galway, at the Dublin feis in 1901 played a descriptive selection entitled "The Battle of Aughrim 1691" in which the blare of trumpets, battle onslaught, and wailing of the women were imitated, his performance was rapturously applauded."
