BLANCHARD'S HORNPIPE [1]. AKA and see "McCarty's Hornpipe"/"McCarthy's Hornpipe," "Mr. Marton’s Hornpipe," "Roxborough Castle." American, Hornpipe. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears to have a British or Irish provenance, although the title "Blanchard's Hornpipe" may be American. A version appears in Köhlers’ Violin Repository Part 3 (1885) as "Mr. Marton’s Hornpipe." The tune has melodic similarities to "Devil's Hornpipe" and "Speed the Plow (1)." The second strain, Paul de Grae points out, can be considered a "floater", in the sense of folk song floating verses. Variants of it can be heard in "Walsh's Hornpipe" and "McCarty's Hornpipe."
Printed sources: Cole (1000 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; p. 87. Ryan's Mammoth Collection, 1883; p. 120.
