CONSTITUTION HORNPIPE [1]. AKA and see "Flat Boat," "Lone Appendicitis." American, Canadian; Hornpipe or Breakdown. USA, New England, Nebraska. Canada, Cape Breton Nova Scotia. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (most versions): AA'BB' (Kerr). The tune was perhaps named for the American naval vessel The Constitution, of the War of 1812 fame. The square-rigged ship still exists and is on display in Boston harbor.
R.P. Christeson (1973) says the original version, as published in older tune books, is more difficult to play than the one he collected in the Midwest, and Bayard's (1981) Pennsylvania source also thought the tune strenuous, saying "If you think that's not hard to play, just try it!" Boston publisher Elias Howe printed the tune as "Flat Boat" in his Musician's Omnibus Nos. 6 & 7 (1880-1882), transposed to the key of B Flat. The first strain is also the same as the "Jinrikisha Hornpipe" and, in simplified form, Huntington's 3rd tune on his p. 23. (Cole, p. 93).
The first strain shares some melodic material with the first strain of Frank Roche's "Black Horse (1)," and also with Ira Ford's "Exhibition March No. 1." See also the similar "Golden Wreath Hornpipe", also printed in Ryan's Mammoth.
