Back to Old Lancashire Hornpipe (1)

OLD LANCASHIRE HORNPIPE. AKA - "Lancashire Hornpipe (2)." AKA and see "Reed House Rant." English, "Old" Hornpipe (3/2 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. The melody was printed by Playford in 1669 ("A Jigg Divided 12 Ways") in Apollo's Banquet, and by London publisher John Johnson in his edition of Wright's Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances, vol. 2 (London, 1742, p. 12). The hornpipe was often printed with variation sets, as was the practice with such pieces which were essentially a ground for improvisations. Barry Callaghan (2007) opined "Surely one of the great tunes of the tradition." Northumbrian musician Henry Atkinson's "Rood/Reed House Rant" (c. 1695) is a closely related tune.
