'''HARK, HARK, THE JOY INSPIRING HORN.''' English, Song Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A hunting song [Roud Number: V4778] that appears in a number of latter 18th century songsters such as '''The Goldfinch, or, New Modern Songster''' (1782), '''The Humming Bird''' (1785), '''Calliope''' (1788), and '''The Skylark''' (1797). Copies of the song with music can be found in Horsfield's '''Vocal Music''' (1775) and Fielding's '''Vocal Enchantress''' (1783), among others. The lyric begins:
<blockquote>
''Hark! hark! the joy-inspiring horn''<br>
''Salutes the rosy rising morn,''<br>
''And echoes through the dale;''<br>
''With clam'rous peals the hills resound,''<br>
''The hounds quick-scented scow'r the ground,''<br>
''And snuff the fragrant gale.''<br>
</blockquote>
It was first published around the year 1770, and was either set or composed by music publisher Richard Bride (who succeeded Henry Waylett at Exeter Change in the Strand), and sung by Mr. Dearl at Finch's Grotto Gardens. The Grotto was a London pleasure (amusement) garden located on the south side of the Thames River, near the old King's bench prison.
