Paddy Fahey's sheet music

Paddy Fahey's sheet music appears here in several scores that differ in metre and key. One score opens in 6/8 with no sharps or flats, while two open in 4/4 — one in G major and one with three flats. The score details do not name a composer or a dance type, so compare the notation and opening bars before choosing a setting.

Choose by metre, not title alone

The scores titled Paddy Fahey's include a 6/8 opening and two 4/4 openings. Metre changes the grouping and pulse of a tune, so decide which metre suits the setting you need and confirm it in the first bars. An opening time signature describes the start of a score and may not cover later changes.

Compare key signatures

The listed openings use no sharps or flats, one sharp (given as G major), and three flats. Key affects fingerings and range on many instruments, so pick a setting whose key suits your instrument or voice and check the full score for modulations.

Confirm the tune and attribution

No composer is named in the score details, and the artist field reads 'Misc tunes'. The shared title does not prove that every score is the same tune or setting. Compare opening phrases, metre and key before treating two scores as versions of one piece.

Use score details as leads

Note counts and durations differ between the scores, but those details describe individual scores rather than authoritative versions. The opening key and time signature are useful filters; the notation itself is the reliable guide to the music.

Common questions

What time signatures do the Paddy Fahey's scores use?

The scores titled Paddy Fahey's begin in two different metres: one opens in 6/8 and two open in 4/4. Check the opening time signature on the score you are considering, since this describes only the start of the piece.

What keys are the Paddy Fahey's sheet music versions in?

The listed Paddy Fahey's scores show three different opening key signatures: no sharps or flats, one sharp (identified as G major), and three flats. These are opening-key details, so confirm the key and any later changes in the full notation.

Is Paddy Fahey's a jig or a reel?

The score details do not identify a dance type, and the scores include both 6/8 and 4/4 openings. The notation must be checked to determine whether a particular setting is a jig, reel or another tune type.

Who composed Paddy Fahey's?

The score details do not name a composer for Paddy Fahey's; the composer field is blank and the artist is listed as 'Misc tunes'. These scores therefore do not establish who composed the settings.

Are all Paddy Fahey's scores the same tune?

The scores share the title Paddy Fahey's but differ in metre and key, so they may be different settings or different tunes under one title. Compare the opening bars and the full notation before treating them as the same piece.

How do I choose among the Paddy Fahey's settings?

Choose the setting whose metre, key and notation match the version you need. One score opens in 6/8 with no sharps or flats; the others open in 4/4, one in G major and one with three flats. Check the first bars before deciding.
