CAPTAIN CORBETT'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Bonnie Annie (4)," "Captain John's Hornpipe," "Copenhagen Hornpipe (1)," "Duke of Brunswick's Hornpipe," "Durham Hornpipe," "Jones's Hornpipe (3)," "Mairs Hornpipe," "Priam's," "Prince's," "Spenser's," "Reel du Goglu," "Stephenson's Monument." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Caaptain Corbett's Hornpipe" is one member of a large and widespread tune family, mostly hornpipes and probably originally English in origin, that has numerous variations and titles. P.W. Joyce (1827-1914) prints the tune as "Captain John's Hornpipe" in his Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (1909). However, the earliest version is "Jones's Hornpipe (3)" from W. Blackman's Selection of the Most Favorite Hornpipes for the Violin (London, c. 1810-22). See also the French-Canadian variant "Reel du goglu" (Goblin's Reel), recorded in the 78 RPM era by Joseph Allard. See note for "annotation:Reel du goglu" for more on this tune family.
