ÚNA. AKA and see "Winnifred." Irish, Air (4/4 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Collector P.W. Joyce [1] remarks the song was still current among the folk of Cork and Limerick at the time of his writing. He makes a distinction between this tune and Moore’s “Oonagh,” a different tune. 'Winifred' or 'Winnie' is the traditional English equivalent of the Irish Úna. A version of the melody was entered into the mid-19th century Sliabh Luachra music manuscript collection once in the possession of D. Curtin of Stagmount, Rockchapel, Co Cork (No. 89, p. 40 [2]). See also mid-19th century cleric James Goodman's version as "Únadh". Francis O'Neill printed a version of the tune as "Winnifred" in his Music of Ireland (1903), nestled in a section of harper wikipedia:Turlough_O'Carolan's (1670–1738) airs. By what authority he may have associated it with that bard is not known.
