Sí Beag, Sí Mór / Paddy Doyle / Táimse im' Chodladh /My Home / Salmon Tails Up the Water / Salmon Tailing Up the Water. Bling Irish harper Turloch O'Carolan, 1670-1738, wrote the opening air when Squire Renolds asked him to make a song from a legend about a war between the gentry (fairies). "Big Hill, Little Hill" refers to the place of battle. Paddy Doyle, aka Dolan's Ass in America, is a traditional Irish polka. Táimse is another old air from the Irish harp tradition. My Home is a waltz from Scotland and America. There are many Salmon Tails tunes. We'll call the first traditional Irish and the second traditional Northumbrian.
