Cobbler's Hornpipe (1) (The)
COBBLER'S HORNPIPE [1], THE. AKA and see "Mr. Englefield's New Hornpipe." English, Old Hornpipe (3/2 or 3/4 time). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears in the 11th edition of Playford's Dancing Master of 1701 and all subsequent editions (through the 18th and final, printed in 1728), and Walsh's Compleat Country Dancing Master (vol. i). The 11th edition marked Henry Playford's taking over publication of the series from father John Playford. A manuscript version appears in the J.Winder MS, compiled in Wyresdale, Lancashire, England, in 1789. Tony Doyle (The Plain Brown Tune Book) notes "A real Lancashire hornpipe, c. 1700." William Vickers (Northumbria, 1770) gives "Cobbler's Hornpipe" as an alternate title to his "Willy Wilky", but it is a different tune.
