SAD IS MY FATE (Is Bronac Mo Cineamuin). Irish, Air (3/4 time, "mournfully"). D Dorian. Standard. AB. The setting in O'Neill is attributed to one Mrs. Fitzgerald. O'Neill (1850), 1979; No. 355, pg. 61. Green Linnet SIF 1047, John Cunningham - "Fair Warning" (1985).

On a previous thread Tune Req: Archibald McDonald Air I was looking for the air "Archibald McDonald". It turns out what I really wanted was "Sad Is My Fate" as played by Johnny Cunningham on his CD "Fair Warning". It is a beautiful mournfull slow air, slightly different from the one at JC's site. I have now transcribed it from the CD. The midi file is HERE and the graphic score is on my web page HERE. If anyone wants the NWC file, PM me.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
