MAIDEN HORNPIPE. English, Hornpipe (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in the music manuscript copybook of fiddler John Burks, dated 1821. Unfortunately, nothing is known of Burks, although he was probably from England. Curiously, this tune appears on Burks' ms. page with the "Robinson's Hornpipe (2)," which, like "Maiden Hornpipe," is also in the ms. collection of Long Island fiddler and painter William Sidney Mount.
