McCARTHY MARCH, THE. AKA and see "Gettysburg March," "Bugle Horn (1) (The)," "Lady in the Boat," "Fermanagh Quickstep." AKA - "McCarthy's Quick Step." Irish, March (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The earliest appearance of the tune in print is in Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman's mid-19th century music manuscripts under the title "McCarthy's Quick Step." Goodman (1828-1896) was an uilleann piper, and an Irish speaker who collected locally in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster. He also obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed collections.
There is also a "MacCarthy's March," a different tune.
