LANCASHIRE HORNPIPE [4]. AKA - "Lankesheire Hornpipe." English, Triple Hornpipe (3/2 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCD. The tune was printed by London music seller and publisher biography:Daniel Wright in his Extraordinary Collection of Pleasant and Merry Humours (1713, No. 18). John M. Ward calls it a "true" Lancashire hornpipe [1], making a distinction between other hornpipes called Lancashire Hornpipes that are in reality country dances. He equates the true Lancashire hornpipe with a rather more free form of folk dancing, rather than the proscribed dance figures in country dance collections that accompany some other "Lancashire" hornpipes (often barred in 6/4 rather than 3/2). Triple hornpipes, Ward notes, are "without exception....cast in the same four-bar variation form, one of the most distinctive and restricting in British instrumental music." Lancashire Hornpipes are more strictly defined:
...as variations on implied "double-tonic" four-bar grounds whose notes are the roots of the two chords elaborated in the descant variations. These two notes (and hence the chords they support) are always a whole step apart; and, as David Johnson has observed of such grounds, "the higher (or upper) of the two chords may be either major or minor, but the lower level chord is always major.
