Back to Cambridge Hornpipe (The)

CAMBRIDGE (HORNPIPE), THE. AKA and see "Pacific Slope (1)." Irish, Hornpipe. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A version of "Pacific Slope (1)," a hornpipe printed in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). The name Cambridge (from the original in southern England) has an interesting history. Originally it was called Grantebricge by the Anglo-Saxons, a combination of the Old English name for bridge (bricge) with the inherited Celtic name Granta, whose meaning was associated with swamps. The Normans, when they conquoured Britain, built a castle close by but found the name difficult to pronounce and step by step changes were introduced so that the first syllable became Crante-, then Cante-, Can- and finally Cam- (Matthews, 1972).
