HOLYWELL HORNPIPE [1], THE. Scottish, Hornpipe. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by William Jeffrey. The name 'holywell' stems from the ages-old practice of ascribing healing and magical powers to springs, a practice which began in pagan times but was Christianized over the years. Churches were often built next to holy wells as a way of co-opting and protecting the site. The pagan practice of leaving offerings to the gods a holy wells was incorporated into Christian religion by attaching saints names to the wells with collection boxes nearby.
