LANCASHIRE WITCHES [2]. AKA - "Lancashire Hornpipe," "Yorkshire Hornpipe." AKA and see "A Jigg Divided 12 Ways," "Old Lancashire Hornpipe (1)." English, Triple Hornpipe (6/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune is a triple hornpipe entered into the music copybook in the possession of London banker biography:Thomas Hammersley (c. 1790), where it is given the title as "Lancashire Witches" but also gave alternate identifying titles as "Lancashire Hornpipe" and "Yorkshire Hornpipe," indicating it was associated with dancing from the north of England. Hammersley's ms. tune is a variation on a theme that appears in print in a collection by London publisher John Johnson, c. 1740, wherein it is called "Old Lancashire Hornpipe (1)," which is itself a derivative of John Playford's "A Jigg Divided 12 Ways" from Apollo's Banquet (1669). Researcher John M. Ward[1] finds the tune not to be a "true" Lancashire hornpipe, pointing out that it is barred in 6/4 and not 3/2, and that (like Johnson's tune) it begins with an anacrusis, concluding "In both sources hornpipe music has been turned into country dance music."
