SWANSEA HORNPIPE [1]. AKA - "Swansy Hornpipe." AKA and see “Gloucester Hornpipe (1) (The)," "Man from Newry (The)." English, Scottish, American; Hornpipe (whole or cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Ashman, Kerr):AA'BB' (Kerr). A hornpipe of unknown provenance, thought likely English in origin. A version was included in the music manuscript collection of John Buttery (1784-1854), a fifer who joined the 34th Regiment in Lincoln at the end of the 18th century and who saw service in England and overseas. Afterwards, he emigrated to Ontario, Canada, where his music manuscript survived in the family (EASMES lists the mss. as the "John Fife manuscript", the name of a family member who had it in his possession. The tune appears onp. 117 of the ms., which is on microfilm with the National Library of Canada, Music Div.). ). Fiddler Stephen Baldwin (1873-1955), of Upton Bishop, Herefordshire, called the tune “Gloucester Hornpipe,” although that title seemed idiosyncratic to him. O’Neill printed a version under the title “Man from Newry.” The Swansea Hornpipe is recorded as having been a type of dance in Wales around 1830, performed at parish dances held every quarter on Monday evenings ^[1].
