This tune is in print in a two-part version in Roche's collection under the title "Rural Felicity". The four-part version played here is a mosaic put together by Jackie Small in 1974 for "De Danann's" first album. Parts 1 and 2 were played on the harpsichord by the composer and arranger Sean O'Riada, and parts 1 and 4 were played by the accordion player Joe Cooley. The third part was assembled from a catchy song in a French film "Les Enfants du Paradis" . The tune was named by "De Danann" after a wonderful lady from Connemara who was one of the group's most devoted fans and patrons at the time.
