HANDEL'S HORNPIPE. AKA - "Hendall's Hornpipe." English, Hornpipe (2/4 or whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Neal): AABBCC (Young). In addition to the printed early 18th century dance collections (listed below) in which the tune appeared, "Handel's Hornpipe" (or, sometimes, "Hendel's" or another spelling variant), could be heard in Charles Coffey's ballad opera The Female Parson: or, Beau in the Sudds (Act III, Air VI), first performed at the New Theatre in the Haymarket in 1730, and in The Conspirators. A Tragi-comic Opera, as it is acted in England and Ireland, without Applause (1749) by Carrickfergus, where "Handel's Hornpipe" is the indicated air for the song "Ye sprightly Beaux, I pray, make room"^[1]

There is no proof that the composition is the work of composer wikipedia:George_Frederic_Handel (although there are genuine works by Handel in Coffey's Female Parson), nor any stylistic indication that it is not his composition.
