GREEN MAN HORNPIPE. English, "Old" or Triple Hornpipe (3/2 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The Green Man, generally a foliate head, is a symbol that has both pagan and Christian attributes; it is the male aspect of the mother goddess, and a powerful image of rebirth to Christians. They can be found carved on many buildings, churches and cathederals throughout northern Europe and in Britain. Not incidently it is the name for many pubs, where Green Men can be found on tavern signs, either represented by a foliate head or simply a ranger or forester (a 'green man' on account of his green livery). The melody appears in Walsh's Lancashire Jiggs, Hornpipes, Joaks, etc. (c. 1737).
