Back to Delaware Hornpipe
DELAWARE HORNPIPE. American, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The name 'Delaware' derives from Thomas, Lord de la Warr, the first Governor of Virginia, a courtier and soldier who as a young man had been knighted by Queen Elizabeth. At first the bay was named for him, then a river emptying into it was discovered and also given the same name, and finally the region was named for the river (Matthews, 1972).
The hornpipe is a member of the "Boys from Scart (The)" tune family, and is perhaps Irish in provenance. "Delaware Hornpipe" was one of the tunes cited by Lettie Osborn (New York Folklore Quarterly) as having commonly been played for dances in Orange County, New York, in the 1930's.
