I’m having trouble finding the sheet music for “Pléaráca an Ruarcaigh” (O’Rourke’s Frolics), as heard on the Paddy Maloney and Sean Potts “Tin Whistles” album? Anybody know where I can get a copy?
I’ve already tried JC’s ABC tune finder, Richard Moon’s TUNEdb, and Henrik Norbert’s site. Other ideas?
Please, no comments from the folks who say the only way to learn is by ear. Thanks for any help.
Is this it?
Alas, no. The tune I’m going for is by O’Carolan and seems to be in 3/4 time.
Isn’t pléaráca the Gaelic equivalent of planxty? You can find Planxty O’Rourke (by O’Carolan) in JC’s ABC Tune Finder.

Ooh, I think that’s the one. I guess 6/8 is like 3/4 if you listen to it a certain way. The MIDI version sounded about right, too.
Thanks for the help. Learning this one should keep me occupied for a bit.
