MISS MACMURRAY. Irish, Planxty (6/8 time). C Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1671-1738). O'Sullivan (1958) could find no information on the subject of this air, which is not attributed to O'Carolan in Bunting's manuscript. However, O'Sullivan (1958) says it "is not uncharacteristic of his style".
