Appears in Breathnach unnamed however Bill Black offers the title “The Wonders of Mayo”². Jackie Small notes that it would probably be a quadrille in Mayo³.

Related to Oró a Bhuachaillín which is commonly performed by alternating playing and singing and of which a few versions turn up possessing A-parts similar to the one above but with differing B-parts, although sometimes these are reversed. The B-part here seems to be unrelated.

Tomás Ó Máille of Tourmakeady performs an alternating tune/song version of Oró a Bhuachaillín on Fidiléirí.⁴
