leeneia	Planxty Fanny Power time signature (71* d)	RE: Planxty Fanny Power time signature	04 Nov 17
In my facsimile edition of the 1904 "O'Neill's Music of Ireland" the tune is called "Planxty Fanny Powers." It is in 6/8, in the key of A, and it's marked "Lively." I wonder if that means fast. On the O'Carolan pieces in the book we see the following notes: Lively Spirited Animated Moderate Slow Very slow With feeling With spirit I guess we could argue for a century about what they mean.
