'''DROGHEDY MARCH'''. AKA and see "[[Mummer's March (The)]]." Irish, March (6/8 time). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCDEFDH.  Fleischmann gives a reference for this tune in J. Brysson's '''A Curious Selection Of Favourite Tunes With Variations to which is added upwards of fifty favourite Irish Airs for the German Flute or Violin, with a Bass for the Harpsichord or Violoncello. Harmoniz'd by an Eminent Master''' (Edinburgh, c. 1790). He notes that the title of the melody probably refers to Charles Moore, 2nd Viscount Drogheda who as involved in the siege of that same town in 1642. He was killed in clashes with Owen Roe O'Neill in 1643. The title may also be a corruption of the Irish word ''draiocht'', meaning magic (see note for "[[Drocketty's March]]").
