Back to Delaware Hornpipe


DELAWARE HORNPIPE. American, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. One of the tunes cited by Lettie Osborn (New York Folklore Quarterly) as having commonly been played for dances in Orange County, New York, in the 1930's. The name Delaware comes from Thomas, Lord de la Warr, the first Governor of Virginia, a courtier and soldier who as a young man had been knighted by Queen Elizabeth. At first the bay was named for him, then a river emptying into it was discovered and also given the same name, and finally the region was named for the river (Matthews, 1972).
