Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Smash the Windows", in Gaelic "Bris Na Fuinneogide/Fuinneoga",<br> also known as "Jelly Jig" (American), "Roaring Jelly" and<br> "Smash the Windlass" (Shetland) is a jig in D major.<br> The melody has been solidly absorbed into the core repertoire<br> of several genres. British print sources seem to predate all others,<br> with the earliest appearance of the melody in John Fife’s<br> manuscript copybook, compiled between 1780 and 1804.<br> It has been printed in both O'Neill's Music of Ireland:<br> 1850 Melodies (1903) and Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907).<br> It has been recorded by many groups including Cherish The Ladies,<br> The Irish Tradition, Seamus Ennis and Fennigs All Stars on The<br> Hammered Dulcimer where I learned it.<br>
