Title A name given to the resource Clare Glens, The Subject The topic of the resource Folk dance music--Ireland Polkas--Ireland Concertina music Fiddle tunes--Ireland Mac Mathúna, Ciarán 36142146 Neil, Paddy Description An account of the resource If ever you get a chance to visit The Clare Glens you will not be disappointed. They are a beautiful wooded area, very picturesque, with walkways on both sides of the Clare River. The Glens are very close to Newport, County Tipperary, and are only seven or eight miles from where I grew up. There are a number of swimming areas and a waterfall. Standing under the falls with the cold mountain water flowing over you is most invigorating. <br /><br />Not having a name for this polka, I thought, why not call it 'The Clare Glens'? I was honoured to get the opportunity to play it on my fiddle with Monsignor Charlie Coen on concertina. The tune originally came to us from another recording that Ciar&aacute;n Mac Math&uacute;na made of concertina player Paddy Neil from around that same area of Newport, County Tipperary, a place well-known for its polkas.

Played on this recording by master musician Monsignor Charles Coen, it first came to my attention when Ciar&aacute;n Mac Math&uacute;na, the well-known broadcaster on Radio &Eacute;ireann, featured it on his <em>Ceolta Tire</em> programme. He had recorded it from Paddy Neil, a concertina player from near Newport, County Tipperary. Paddy's version, in particular the second part, is different from what is usually played. Thanks to Monsignor Coen for learning and recording it for me, and to Nicky McAuliffe from County Kerry for the tune information.

I took a trip down that same day to meet Jack and to play a few tunes with him. Many of the tunes we played that day I had learned from a reel-to-reel tape of Jack and his friend Paddy O'Brien from County Tipperary. The tape was recorded in the Bronx, New York, in the 1950s, and a copy was sent back to Ireland. That day, Jack told me that Kathleen played the piano and, if I encouraged her, she might play a tune. Kathleen did play this polka with her father and I captured it as my prize for the day. With such a family connection, it is appropriate then that Father Charlie would be our performer on this track.

Key in the Cill, The Subject The topic of the resource Folk dance music--Ireland Jigs Concertina music Coen, Charles 38213636 Description An account of the resource Monsignor Charles Coen recorded the jig on this track. In his own words, Father Charlie tells us what he knows about the tune: <br /><br />'This tune "The Key in the Cill" or "The Key in the Kiln" was popular in Woodford when I was growing up. It was a great favourite of Bill Logue's. Bill took a strong sweet tone from a flute and had amazing breath control. As with many Irish tunes, the title doesn't have to make sense. "Cill" being the Irish for "church", the title could mean "The Key in the Church", or "church key", or the latter sometimes a humorous name for a corkscrew, or "Kiln" being a place for burning lime, it may have some strange connection with that. The tune is important for me because I made my debut along with Bill's son Josie at a church concert playing it on two fifes. I was ten and Josie was eight and it was the only tune we both knew. My mother had some words to that melody as follows: <br /><br />"The girls are on the lookout young men, <br />The flowers are blooming, <br />It is Spring and June will surely a wedding bring. <br />The girls are on the lookout young men."' <br /><br />Sl&aacute;n, Charlie.

The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. Lord Gordon Subject The topic of the resource Folk dance music--Ireland Reels (Music) Concertina music Description An account of the resource The long version of the reel 'Lord Gordon', which the great Michael Coleman recorded in the 1930s, contains a number of parts which are attributed to that master County Sligo fiddle player. Another version, with two parts, was recorded on a 78 by musicians from the Ballinakill area of County Galway. Here, Monsignor Charlie Coen gives us still another two-part setting of the tune, which he has given the clever title 'Lord Gordon's Father', surmising that the origins of Michael Coleman's masterpiece lie in an older, simpler setting of the tune, perhaps somewhat like this one.
