"The Scartaglen", also known as "Cronin’s", "The Humours Of Newcastle",<br> "The Humours Of Scartaglen", "The New Post Office", "New Posthouse", "New Road",<br> "The New Road", "Noelle O’Connor’s", "The Scarta Glen Road"," Scartaglen Road" and<br> "Tom Billy’s" is an Irish reel in D Major. The parts are played AABB.<br> Scartaglen or Scartaglin, in Gaelic Scairteach an Ghlinne, is a village and townland in<br> the Sliabh Luachra area of County Kerry, Ireland. As of the 2011 census, the townland of<br> Scartaglin had a population of 163 people.<br> The tune is circular, i.e: the second ending of the B part does not resolve to the tonic "D"<br> but sets up an easy transition back to the beginning. I added the single measure fine to<br> end it satisfactorily.<br> The tune was printed in<br> Grey Larsen's 150 Gems of Irish Music for Tin Whistle (2015).<br> It was recorded by<br> Grey Larsen on 150 Gems of Irish Music for Tin Whistle (2015), <br> Cherish The Ladies on New Day Dawning (2006),<br> Déanta on Whisper Of A Secret (1997) and by many others.<br>
