Back to Blanchard's Hornpipe (1)
BLANCHARD'S HORNPIPE [1]. AKA and see "Marton's Hornpipe," "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" and in Honeyman's Strathspey, Reel, and Hornpipe Tutor (1989) as "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."
