"The Lark In The Morning", also known as "An Fuiseog Air/San Maidin",<br> "Daugherty's Jig", "Road to Sligo", "The Trip to Sligo" and "When I Parted"<br> is an Irish double jig or set dance in E Minor.<br> The melody printed in O'Neill as "Lark in the Morning" is usually known in<br> modern times under the title "The Trip to Sligo" while the "Lark in the<br> Morning" title is usually reserved for another jig. However popular the<br> jig has been in Irish tradition, it has a Scottish provenance, being the<br> composition of Scottish fiddler-composer John Anderson who originally<br> called it "When I Parted" and printed it around 1790. <br> It was printed in O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903),<br> O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907), O'Neill's Waifs and<br> Strays of Gaelic Melody (1922) and Williamson's English, Welsh, Scottish<br> and Irish Fiddle Tunes (1976).<br> I learned it from Williamson's book.<br>
