Back to Reed House Rant

REED HOUSE. AKA – “Read House Rant,” “Reed House Rant.” AKA and see “Old Lancashire Hornpipe.” English, “Old” or Triple Hornpipe (3/2 time). England, Northumberland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC (Vickers): AABBCCDDEEFFGGHH (Callaghan). The first two parts of the tune appear in the large 1770 music manuscript of Northumbrian musician William Vickers [1]. Unfortunately, very little is known about Vickers. A similar title is the "Reed House Rant," also in Vickers. As the similarly-titled “Read House Rant” the tune appears twice (pp. 6-7, pp. 137-138) in the 1694-95 music manuscript book of Henry Atkinson [2] (Morpeth, Northumberland), where it includes six variation sets. Playford also printed a version of the tune in Apollo’s Banquet. “Reed House Rant” is a related tune to the generically-titled “Old Lancashire Hornpipe].”

Source for notated version: Henry Atkinson’s 1694-95 ms. (Morpeth, Northumberland) [Callaghan].

Printed sources: Callaghan (Hardcore English), 2007; p. 78.
