Back to Prime's Hornpipe

PRIME'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Waterford Hornpipe," "O'Dwyer's Hornpipe (1)," "Muddy Water (1)," "Durrock's Hornpipe," "Gasur Mor (An)." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Francis O'Neill, the Chicago police chief and collector, knew the tune (as "O'Dwyer's") from his boyhood days in the latter 1800's Co. Cork, learned from a fiddler named Dwyer or O'Dwyer. He printed a four-part version in his Music of Ireland (1903). Patrick Weston Joyce [1] (1827-1914) was himself from Limerick, raised in the 1830's and '40's; his three-part version is nearly identical to "Waterford Hornpipe" printed in the first decade of the 19th century in London by uilleann piper O'Farrell. Donegal fiddler John Doherty recorded the tune as "Gasur Mor (An)" (The Big Boy).
