WESTERN HORNPIPE, THE. AKA and see “Athlone Hornpipe (The),” "Bobby Gardiner's," "McIntyre's," “Mountain Stream (1),” "Paddy Killoran's," "Tara Brooch," "Paddy O'Brien's Hornpipe (1)," "Six O'Clock." Irish, Hornpipe. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Although the tune is usually played in the key of ‘C’ (esp. by fiddlers, c.f. Michael Coleman’s recording), it is occasionally heard in ‘D’. It is set in that key in Breathnach’s Ceol Rinnce na hÉireann, vol. 3, No. 217, from the playing of fiddler Séamus Thompson, although it is said that he played it in the key of ‘C’ on the source recording, and that it was erroneously transcribed in ‘D’. County Sligo born fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945) recorded the melody on a 78 RPM in New York, in a medley as the second tune paired with “Stage Hornpipe (1).”
