'''PETER STREET [1]''' (Sráid Phaedair/Peadair). AKA – “[[Sweet Peter Street]].” AKA and see “[[Babes in the Woods (3)]],” “[[Blackling Races]],” “[[Blanchland Races]],” "[[Miller's Frolics (2) (The)]]," "[[Timour the Tartar]]." Scottish, Irish, New England; Reel. A Major (Cole, Mille & Perron, O'Neill, Spadaro): G Major (Breathnach). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cole, O'Neill/1850 & 1001, Spadaro): AA'B (O'Neill/Krassen): AABB (Miller & Perron, Sweet): AA'BB' (Breathnach). The melody is known in English and Scottish collections as “[[Timour the Tartar]]” (see note for [[Annotation:Timour the Tartar]]) for more on the origins, which predate “Peter Street”), however, it appears in the 19th century music manuscript collection of John Burks’ as “[[Blackling Races]],” perhaps a mishearing of another alternate title, "[[Blanchland Races]]."  The name “Peter Street” first appears in a publication by P. Alday in Dublin, c. 1815, as “A Favourite Dance—as danc’d at Peter Street,” a reference perhaps to Dublin's Peter Street. The reel "Peter Street" appears in a repertoire list brought by Philip Goodman, the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth, to the Feis Ceoil in Belfast in 1898 (Breathnach, 1997). John Hartford thinks the tune hints of "[[Olive Branch Hornpipe]]" (or perhaps, more correctly, vice-versa).
