Reading the available versions

The scores labelled Father Kelly's do not share one opening key or metre. One begins in D major with a 4/4 time signature, one in G minor with 4/4, and one in G major with 6/8. These details describe the opening of each score only; they do not confirm that the whole piece stays in that key or metre.

Choosing a version

If you already know the Father Kelly's setting you need, match its opening key and metre to the score details. A 4/4 opening points to the D major or G minor version, while the 6/8 opening is the G major version. The available details do not state instrumentation, difficulty or whether the versions are musically related.

Attribution and title limits

No composer is named for these scores, so the title should not be treated as proof of a particular composer or origin. Because several distinct scores share the title, check the opening bars rather than assuming every Father Kelly's score is the same piece.
