DERRY HORNPIPE, THE. AKA and see "Cash's Hornpipe," "Delaney's Favorite," "Ladies Hornpipe (1) (The)," "Londonderry Hornpipe (The)," "Showman's Clog." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'CC'DD'EE. The name Derry is Gaelic in origin and means an oak-wood. "The Derry Hornpipe" is heard in four, five and six part versions. It was a favorite of uilleann piper John Cash, born in Wexford in 1832 who was taught piping by an uncle, James Hanrahan from Tipperary. His wife, Polly Connors, had a reputation as a renowned step-dancer. Unlike many pipers of his time Cash did not have to depend solely on his music for his livelihood, and made a comfortable living tinsmithing and dealing in horses.

"The Derry Hornpipe" was so associated with him that it was locally known as "Cash's Hornpipe" (Breathnach, The Man and His Music, 1996, p. 81).
In a 1906 letter to Alfred Percival Graves, Francis O'Neill described how he compiled the six-part version in his Music of Ireland: "No. 1753 has a history.
