CAPUCHIN, (THE). English, Jig. England, Yorkshire. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title refers either to a Franciscan friar or a type of ladies garment involving a cowl and hood. Cappuccino coffee derives from this word: it is said the first cappucinno coffee served had little peaks of milky foam that resembled the pointed hoods of the friars. A different tune called "The Capuchin" (in 9/8 time) appears in the mid-18th century collections of David Rutherford (1756) and John Johnson (1751).

Source for notated version: a MS collection by fiddler Lawrence Leadley, 1827-1897 (Helperby, Yorkshire) [Merryweather & Seattle].

Printed sources: Aird (Selections of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs), vol. 2, c. 1786; p. 5, No. 13. Merryweather & Seattle (The Fiddler of Helperby), 1994; No. 49, p. 41.
