LORD HARDWICKE'S/HARDWICKIS MARCH. AKA - "Lord Harwick's March," "Lord Hawick's March." English, Irish; March (4/4 time). England, Shropshire. D Major (Ashman): G Major (Laybourn). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. "Lord Hardwicks" was composed by Irish-born Tom Cooke (1782-1848) in 1802 (or 1804) and gained popularity as a military march.

Francis O'Neill records it was played in an 1884 Melbourne, Australia, concert given by Irish Uilleann piper John Coughlan.
W. Grattan Flood records in his A History of Irish Music:
Tom Cooke (as invariably called) was also a Dublin man, and was born in Dublin in 1782. At Christmas, 1797, he was leader of the orchestra at Crow-street Theatre, and continued as such till 1812—composing much popular music, some of which was published by himself at his music warehouse, 45, Dame-street, between the years 1810-1812. One of his earliest attempts was "Lord Hardwick's March," in 1804, published by Power, of No. 4, Westmoreland-street, followed by an "Irish Capriccio," in 1810. One night at his benefit, on June 18th, 1811, he made a sensation as a tenor vocalist in Storace's Siege of Belgrade, and soon after determined to try his fortune in London, appearing at the English Opera House, in the same piece, on July 13th, 1813. He became director of the music at Drury-lane in 1821, of which theatre he was principal tenor for over eighteen years. At a benefit in 1820 he proved his extraordinary versatility by performing successively on nine instruments, namely, the violin, flute, oboe, clarionet, bassoon, horn, cello, bass, and pianoforte. As a composer his versatility was equally great, as may be evidenced by his operas, masses, glees, catches, songs, duets, etc., besides treatises on singing. Among his pupils were Miss Tree, Miss Povey, Miss Austin, Miss Rainsforth, the Misses Williams, and the late Sims Reeves. He died February 26th, 1848.
