Back to Belfast Hornpipe (2)
BELFAST HORNPIPE [2]. AKA and see "Lass on the Strand (2)." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first strain is shared with "Belfast Hornpipe (1)," "Royal Belfast," "Millicent's Hornpipe," "Millicen's Favourite," and "Sweep's Hornpipe (1).” "Lass on the Strand" begins in a similar way, and there has been some confusion between the two titles (hence a listing as "Lass on the Strand (2)").
