Sheet music

What the available versions show

One listing is titled “The First Month of Summer” with the annotation “(reel)” and the credit “After Chief F. O'Neill”; it opens with no sharps or flats in 4/4. Two further listings open in A major with three sharps in 4/4, and one of those gives an opening tempo of 116 BPM. These details describe individual scores, not a definitive edition, and should be checked against the music itself.

Choosing between the listings

If you specifically want a version marked as a reel, start with the listing that carries that annotation. Otherwise compare the opening key, time signature, and tempo with the version you already know or with the range and tuning of your instrument. The listings do not provide verified difficulty grades, so avoid assuming that a shorter or lower-note-count version is easier.

The Chief F. O'Neill credit

The credit “After Chief F. O'Neill” appears on one score only. It is a credit attached to that particular version and does not by itself establish who composed The First Month Of Summer or prove a historical relationship. Treat the credit as a lead for further checking rather than as a confirmed attribution.

What to check in the score

Before playing or teaching from a version, inspect the actual notation for the full melodic line, any repeats, ornaments, bowing or phrasing marks, and the intended instrumentation. The available listings do not verify a complete work, an original instrumentation, or an edition type, so the score remains the best guide to what is being offered.
