Notes
Dow attributes this to the harpist Rory Dall (who may have been two people, one of them Irish and one Scottish a hundred years apart, or they may both have been the same Irishman, there are several competing stories all asserted with utter authoritativeness). Dow printed it in a keyboard arrangement with a godawful bass line which I have left out. Works pretty well on the alto flute or the ud (it's quite similar to some classical Middle Eastern compositions); I haven't heard anyone but me play it.
