The Chieftains' Best of the Chieftains album has a tune called O'Sullivan's March. It was also used in the movie Rob Roy; and the Boston Pops recorded it on their Celtic CD.
Solas' Solas CD track 1 is a tune called Nil Na Law. It also can be heard on the Boston Pops CD referenced above.
Now...
Does anyone know where I can find sheet music for these two tunes? I've checked the usual places, like JC's ABC Tunefinder.
Does music even exist for these tunes?

I wish I had a straight answer for you, but this will have to do instead. The Chieftains have a book of some of their tunes. I don't have it and don't remember what's in it. (I flipped through it at a music festival, but I already had a glut of books, so I put it back.) If you locate this book on-line, you might locate the table of contents. I bet someone on this board has it. (Of course, there's always slow speed software for transcribing your cd.)Good luck.

Hi! I've came across a score book with all the music from the Chieftains CD: The Best of the Chieftains in a local store. That book has O'Sullivan's march on it in score notation. I haven't checked but I don't think you'd have too much trouble finding it on one of those amazon etc online bookstores.

O'Sullivan's March was one of the first tunes I learned on the whistle. Since I can't read [music], I picked it up pretty quick by ear. It's not a difficult tune, but when the Chieftains play it, they play a segment anout half-way through that changes from a D whistle to a C and then back again.
That part through me for a little while, untill I figured out what they were doing. I have a brief version on my mp3.com page at: http://www.mp3.com/blee
It may help, and then it may not. Feel free to give it a listen if you like though.
All my best,
Bri~
