'''CROP THE COPPICE'''.  English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A coppice is a managed woodland area in which trees are cut down and encouraged to grow from the stump. The coppicing produces a number of relatively thin stems that are harvested ('cropped') in regular cycles, sometimes in sections from the same stump as to insure some stems each year. Typically some woods are favored for coppicing; ash (ideal for tool handles), oak (the bark was formerly used in the tanning process) and hazel (for brooms, wicker, and brushes), are typical examples. Henry VIII is recorded as having regulated to coppicing of timber for the ironmaking industry, requiring that a small section of woodland be enclosed after cutting and twelve standels to be left in each acre to grow into timber, thus insuring a continued growth of the wood. Gibbon's set the tune in the key of 'F' major in his mss.

CROP THE CROPPIES. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title is a reference to the slang term (croppies) for the rebellious peasant population of Ireland, largely Catholic, who, at the time the tune was published by Preston in 1798 were in the midst of a serious uprising against English rule. They were aided in their efforts by the French, who were then at war with England. Anne Gilchrist, in her article "Old Fiddlers' Tune Books of the Georgian Period" (JEFDSS, vol. 4, No. 1, Dec. 1940, p. 21), writes:

"Crop the Croppies" is a lively country-dance tune which has evidently been associated with some political song about the Irish Rebellion of 1798. "Croppy" or "Croppy Boy" was a name given to the rebels by the loyalists, and the title may refer to a barbarous practice (of which I read somewhere) of capping the rebels' heads, when they were caught, with a pitch helmet and cropping their locks below its edge. Another "Croppy" song , to the tune of "Down, derry, down," had a chorus of "Down, down, Croppies lie Down!" This was once rashly played by a morris-dancers' band as the morris-men danced their way through the Irish quarter of a Lancashire town. As soon as the irish heard the haed tune they fell upon the morris-dancers, and a terrific fracas ensued, in which the offenders had to retreat with torn clothes, broken instruments and broken heads. (There was also a counter-blast called "Croppies, get up again!).
