"The Rose of Drishane", in Gaelic "An Rois Ua Drisean", also known as “Dublin Hornpipe" or<br> "Egan's Hornpipe" is an Irish hornpipe in D Major. The parts are played AABB.<br> Researcher Conor Ward found the hornpipe in the 1885 music manuscript collection of<br> Francis Reynolds under the title “Dublin Hornpipe". Reynolds was a fiddler from Gaigue,<br> Ballinamuck, Co. Longford. A version under the title "Egan's Hornpipe" was printed by<br> Francis O'Neill in his Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody (1922), obtained from the<br> Rice-Walsh Manuscript, a collection compiled by a pupil of the 19th century North Kerry<br> fiddle master, Jeremiah Breen. The collection was eventually given to O'Neill who published<br> over forty of Breen's tunes. Drishane is in the southern part of Sliabh Luachra region,<br> County Kerry, near Millstreet.<br> It was printed in Krassen's O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1976) and<br> O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903).<br> It was recorded by Denis Murphy and Johnny O’Leary on Tuning the Radio (2010),<br> Eoghan O’Sullivan, Gerry Harrington and Paul De Grae on The Smoky Chimney (1996) and<br> Billy Clifford on Echoes of Sliabh Luachra.<br>
