Name that Irish Flute tune

Can someone tell me the name of the first song in the medley on Michael’s Irish Flute Tunes introduction?

It’s an awesome climb up and down the scale and I’d love to know the name.

Thanks.

The first tune :slight_smile: seems to be a G setting of the A hornpipe “Chief O’Neill’s Visit”, also known as the Old Time reel “Pacific Slope”. Michael’s setting is actually closer to Pacific Slope - played as a reel, and the high part follows the setting in Cole’s / Ryan’s.

Thank you. Those do sound like what I’m hearing. In any case, they’re close enough right now for me since I’m such a beginner. Cheers!
