LAD O'BEIRNE'S (HORNPIPE). AKA - "Reavy's Hornpipe." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Cranford/Holland): AA'BB' (Reavy). Composed by prolific tune composer and fiddler Ed Reavy (1898-1988) originally from County Cavan, Ireland, who lived in Corktown, near Philadelphia, Pa., for many years. It was dedicated to the great New York fiddler Lad O'Beirne

as O'Beirne loved the tune, although it was originally written for Reavy's son, Ed Reavy Jr., a lover of hornpipes. The younger Reavy especially liked "Harvest Home (1)" and his father promised to write him a hornpipe in the same vein. Reavy Jr. was somewhat skeptical, as he considered "Harvest Home (1)" a masterpiece, but a few weeks later the elder returned home from a dance and played the hornpipe for his son, and "when I heard that tune, that's when I realized that he was a genius." Ed Reavy Jr. thinks it is different from the sort of hornpipes his father usually wrote. The piece was recorded by the great County Sligo/New York fiddler Michael Coleman in 1944, and later, in the 1960's by Sean Ryan (although it appeared under the title "Flowing Tide (3)," a title that usually goes with another hornpipe).

-'''[[Ladies_Hornpipe_(2)_(The)|THE LADIES HORNPIPE (2)]] '''. Scottish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The tune is attributed to Captain Donald Ross "D.R." MacLennan [http://www.pipetunes.ca/composers.asp?pg=Details&composerID=24] (1901-1984), the less famous younger half-brother of Pipe Major G.S. McLennan, who one of the seminal figures of Highland bagpiping, and a cousin to the almost equally famous Highland dancer and piper William McLennan. It was William McLennan who impressed fiddler-composer J. Scott Skinner, and who died in Canada while on tour with him.

-D.R. MacLennan originally entitled the piece "[[Joe McGann's Fiddle]]," although it was published in the '''Scots Guards''' (1954) settings as "The Ladies Hornpipe", without composer credits.  D.R. was a competitor in piobaireachd (a gold medalist), a reed maker and composer.
