N:The air, according to O'Sullivan (1958) and tradition, was probably the first composed
N:by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). The title of the air often appears
N:as "Sheebag, Sheemore," an Englished version of the original Gaelic "Si Bheag, Si Mhor"
N:which means "so big, so little," but it has been suggested that Si is derived from the
N:medieval Irish siod, meaning "fairy hill" or "fairy mound;" thus the title may also refer
N:to "big fairy hill, little fairy hill."
