NELSON'S HORNPIPE [1]. AKA and see "Admiral Lord Nelson's Hornpipe," "Lord Nelson's Hornpipe (2)." English, Irish; Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The earliest appearance of the tune in print is in Book 1 (p. 54) of County Cork Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman's large mid-19th century music manuscript collection. wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist) (1828-1896) was an uilleann piper and an Irish speaker who collected locally in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster. He also obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed collections. O'Neill (1922) remarks: "This tune is a variant of "Cloone Hornpipe" published in O'Neill's Music of Ireland 1903, and O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland 1907. It was obtained from Sergt. James Early who learned it from his tutor on the Union Pipes 'Old Man' Quinn. Like many other fine tunes it was anonymous, so it was named 'The Cloone Hornpipe' in honor of the famous piper's native town and parish in County Leitrim, Ireland. Its continued popularity is evidenced by its inclusion in a recent Irish Collection under the identical name invented for it by its sponsor, Sergt. James Early of Chicago."
The hornpipe has an English provenance, however, and was first published in London by Thomas Preston in his Twenty-Four Country Dances for the Year 1800. It was entered into the music manuscript collection of fiddler Lawrence Leadley (Yorkshire) as "Nelson's Hornpipe", by R. Hughes (Shropshire) as "Lord Nelson's Hornpipe," and by Thomas Calvert (Yorkshire) as "Admiral Lord Nelson's Hornpipe" in the first half of the 19th century.
