MONKEY HORNPIPE [2]. English, Hornpipe. England, Wales. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. The tune comes from the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Southern Clark, where it is an untitled tune. The manuscript is inscribed, "Mr W. S. Clark’s Old Music Book. William Thomas Lewis, Mardy, Aberdare, 1869" [presently kept at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth. NLW20067A folio 20. verso]. Clark was a mining agent on the estate of the Marquis of Bute, and William Thomas Lewis was an assistant engineer under him, notes Ceri Rhys Matthews (who recorded the tune).
