"The Night We Made the Match", in Gaelic "An oidce do rinneamar an reite/cleamnas"<br> is an Irish hornpipe in A Mixolydian. The parts are played AABB.<br> Hans Nathan, in his book about the blackface minstrel Daniel Decateur Emmett, asserts<br> that strains from this tune contributed to the formation of Emmett's popular<br> "Wabash Jig", also known as "Hell on the Wabash". <br> It was printed in Krassen's O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1976),<br> O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903) and<br> O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland:1001 Gems (1907).<br> <br>
