GOATS' HORN(S), THE (Adarcaide Na Gabar). Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Goats' Horns" is one of the tunes that make up the four-part session warhorse "Lark in the Morning (1)," and through it is related to a number of tunes. See also "Buachaillín Buí (An)," "Come in the Evening," "Galloway Tom (2)," "Galway Tom (1)," "Galway Town," "Gallua Tom," "Western Lilt (A)," "Kelso Races," "Welcome (The)," "Spotted Cow (The)," and "Little Yellow Boy (The)." The first and second parts of "Goats' Horns" correspond to the third and first part of "Lark in the Morning (1)." Collector George Petrie's "Buachaillín Buí (An)" is close to "Goats' Horns" but not identical [1].
