"The Fairy Queen" is another Carolan composition which has gained currency in recent times. It seems to be related, both thematically and melodically, to "Sheebeg and Sheemore," though this tune is in G and its more famous cousin is in D. Though not terribly difficult, "The Fairy Queen" does present a problem that we encounter often enough, which is that the trickiest passages come at very dramatic moments, and therefore require extra attention.
