"Bantry Bay", in Gaelic "Cuain Beantraige", also known "James McKenney's Hornpipe", "Little Stack of Wheat" or "Union Hornpipe" is an Irish hornpipe in cut time and G Major. The parts are played ABB (Miller & Perron, Moylan) or AABB (Allan's, Miller & Perron/2006, O'Neill, Tubridy). Collector and compiler Captain Francis O'Neill was quite taken by the tune, calling it "one of the most delightful traditional hornpipes in existence". The name Bantry is derived from the Gaelic ben, meaning 'horn' and refers to mountains; thus, Bantry is 'the peaks by the sea shore'. Bantry Bay is off the west coast of Ireland, at County Galway. The tune closely shares melodic material with "An TSeanbhean Bhocht" and "Tomeen O'Dea's Reel," with which it is paired in the Tubridy book. Perhaps the earliest appearances of the melody are in the music manuscript collections of Lake District (Cumbria) musician William Irwin (c. 1838) as "James McKenney's Hornpipe" and County Cork Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman's mid-19th century manuscripts, under the title "Union Hornpipe". It was printed in McDermott's Allan's Irish Fiddler (c. 1920's), Miller & Perron's Irish Traditional Fiddle Music (1977) and Irish Traditional Fiddle Music, 2nd Edition (2006), Moylan's Johnny O'Leary of Sliabh Luachra (1994), O'Neill's O'Neill's Irish Music (1915), Krassen's O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1976), O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903), O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907), Phillips' Fiddle Case Tunebook: British Isles (1989) and Tubridy's Irish Traditional Music, vol. 1 (1999).
