Back to Morning Fair Hornpipe

MORNING FAIR. AKA and see "Hastton's Hornpipe," "Manchester Hornpipe (1)," "Pigeon on the Gate (7)," "Rickett's Hornpipe," "Texarkana Hornpipe," "Tomorrow Morning," "Yarmouth Hornpipe." English, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was widely popular in the British Isles under a variety of titles and appears in numerous fiddler's manuscripts from the 19th century. Versions appear to have derived from the English "Manchester Hornpipe," although the "Morning Fair" title also appears in fiddlers' manuscripts in England dating to the second or third decades of the 19th century. It was in the G. Huddswell (Leeds, west Yorkshire) manuscript twice (once as "Morning Fair" and again as "Morning Hornpipe"), the George Spencer 1831 manuscript (Leeds, west Yorkshire), and the John Clare manuscript (c. 1820, Helpstone, Northants), all under the "Morning Fair Hornpipe" title. Fiddler John Burk's music manuscript copybook, dated 1821, has the tune as "Hastton's Hornpipe" (nothing is known of Burks, although he may have been from the north of England). Lincolnshire musician Joshua Gibbons included it in his 1823-26 music manuscript book simply as "Hornpipe No. 101," set in the key of 'F' major. As "Manchester Hornpipe (1)," it can be found in the 1823-26 music mss of papermaker and musician Joshua Gibbons (1778-1871, of Tealby, near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire Wolds). Another version appears as "Yarmouth Hornpipe" in George H. Watson's (Swanton Abbott, Norfolk) manuscript of 1850-1880. "Rickett's Hornpipe" shares the first strain, but the second strains differ. As "Tomorrow Morning" the tune appears in O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903).
