Thanks for that info, Jim. I did a recording of "Lazarus" from the score in Broadwood and Maitland, and it's interesting to hear the differences in the melodies and harmonic backgrounds between that and the "Star of the County Down".

"Lazarus" is actually quite a melancholy and thoughtful tune, while the "Star" is usually taken at a rollicking pace - two different slants to the same basic melody.
