MARTIN O'CONNOR'S. AKA and see "Allistrum's," "MacAlisdrum's March." Irish, Polka (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Martin O'Connors" is the name given to the tune from the influential 1979 recording by accordion player Martin O'Connor, who recorded untitled as the last tune in a set of polkas. It is an adaptation of the the first two strains of a rather ancient triple-time melody called "MacAlisdrum's March, among other titles and variant spellings. Belfast musician and collector Edward Bunting printed the tune in his Ancient Music of Ireland (1840) as "McDonnell's March".
