ORANGE ROGUE, THE (An Rogaire Oraisteac). AKA and see "Bunch of Clover." Irish, Set Dance (in either 6/8 {Harker/Rafferty, O'Neill} or 3/4 time {Miller & Perron}) or Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Miller & Perron): AABA (Harker/Rafferty): AABB (O'Neill). The tune is played at a slower tempo than a jig. The first strain is the same as that of the slide "Trooper (The)." An early version, somewhat distanced from O'Neill's version, is to be found in the mid-19th century music manuscript collection of uilleann piper and Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman [1].
