## Appears on

### [The Blackbird](https://waxonia.com/track/traditional--the-blackbird/)

*1750 · No. 1 in [Celtic Traditional](https://waxonia.com/genre/celtic-traditional/)*

A set dance old enough that its authorship is unrecoverable, and a tune every piper and fiddler is measured against. Dated here to the century it surfaces in, because that is the honest limit of what is known.

### [Róisín Dubh](https://waxonia.com/track/traditional--roisin-dubh/)

*1750 · No. 3 in [Celtic Traditional](https://waxonia.com/genre/celtic-traditional/)*

A love song to a woman who is also Ireland, which is the oldest trick in the repertoire and still works. Sean-nós at its most demanding: one voice, no accompaniment, nowhere to hide.
