Back to Prime's Hornpipe

PRIME'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Waterford Hornpipe," "O'Dwyer's Hornpipe (1)," "Muddy Water (1)," "Durrock's Hornpipe," "Dwyer's Hornpipe (2)," "Gasúr 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 and printed a four-part version in his Music of Ireland (1903). The Rev. Luke Donnellan collected a similar version in County Louth in 1909 under the similar title "Dwyer's Hornpipe (2)." 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 "Gasúr Mor (An)" (The Big Young Boy).
