The prototype (earliest) version of "The Wind that Shakes the Barley", c 1812, (#5329 in 'Sources of Irish Traditional Music', 1998) is a somehat different from the other versions in the Irish tune index on my website, but all are a bit variant. 5 versions are coded in the file COMBCOD2.TXT and the stressed note codes can be simultaneously plotted with the program on my website. 'Sources of Irish Traditional Music' gives alternative names for the tune as "Rolling Down the Hill" (O'Neill's 'Dance Music of Ireland') and "The Kerry Lasses" (Breathnach's 'Ceol Rince...',II).
