GILLAN'S APPLES [1] "Apples in Winter (2), "Gillian's Apples," "Humors of Dingle (1) (The)." Irish, Double Jig. D Major ('A' and 'C' parts) & A Mixolydian ('B' and 'D' parts) {Breathnach}. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB' (Breathnach, Mallinson, Tubridy): AABBCCDD (Mulvihill). The jig was renamed by Francis O'Neill (1903) in honor of his source, County Longford piper John Gillan, "to avoid confusion" as the title on Gillan's original manuscript was "Apples in Winter" and O'Neill already had a tune by that name (Irish Folk Music, p. 93). Uilleann piper O'Farrell earlier printed a nearly identical version as "Apples in Winter (2) (The)" in the first years of the 19th century in his Collection of National Irish Music for the Union Pipes (Dublin, 1804), . The tune is often called "Gillian's Apples," a mis-hearing of the name Gillan. "Humors of Dingle (1) (The)" is a closely related tune.
