Patrick Sky, 2000 Ridgewood Rd. #312, Chappell Hill NC 27516: has reprinted 'O'Farrell's Collection of National Irish Music for the Union Pipes' (1804). 'Union' was the original designation of the nonsensical 'uilleann' invented by Wm. Grattan-Flood. The tunes in this and in his subsequent larger collection 'O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes', four parts, 1805-16, are reprinted in the recent 'Sources of Irish Traditional Music', 2 vols., by Aloys Fleishmann, Garland Publishing (July), 1998, $250.
