McELLIGOTT'S FANCY (Roga Mic Elligott). AKA and see "Buck From the Mountain (The)," "Clog du couronnement," "Minstrel's Fancy," "Pioneer Clog (The)," "Hanover Hornpipe." Irish, Hornpipe (whole or cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody can be found under a variety of titles, or as an untitled piece; there seems to have been no particular name that "stuck" for this piece, although widespread. "McElligott's Fancy" is the name Francis O'Neill used in his Music of Ireland (1903), named for his source. "Minstrel's Fancy" is the title the tune appeared under in both Ryan's Mannoth Collection (Boston, 1883) and Kerr's Merry Melodies (Glasgow, c. 1880's), published around the same time, and various other titles have been used, mostly idiosyncratic. The hornpipe appears as an untitled southwest Pennsylvania-collected clog in Samuel Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle, March to the Fife (1981; No. 416, pp. 395-396) collection, and as an untitled hornpipe in the 1890's music manuscript collection of "Professor" Patrick D. Reidy. Reidy was a London dancing master employed to teach dancing at Gaelic League functions, and was a correspondent of Francis O'Neill's. He sent O'Neill a music manuscript book around 1902 with thirty-nine dance tunes played by musicians who accompanied dancers.
The hornpipe was recorded as a reel by Albert Allard in 1937 for Starr Records in Montreal as "Clog du couronnement" (Cornoation Clog).
