SAILOR'S HORNPIPE [3] (Crannciuil an mairnealaig). AKA and see “Cameron's Favorite,” “Dan Cameron's Favorite,” “Miss Gayton’s Hornpipe.” Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. O’Neill found the melody in a 19th century volume printed in London (two volumes) called Encyclopedia of Melody, One Thousand and Twenty-one Airs Selected from the National Music of All Countries, etc., etc., arranged by William Forde. A hornpipe called “Miss Gayton’s Hornpipe,” named for a London stage dancer and found in English collections and musicians manuscript copybooks, is a cognate tune, albeit more distanced in the second strain. “Cameron's Favorite,” from ‘’’Ryan’s Mammoth Collection’’’ (1883) is also a cognate tune, a Lancashire clog identified as having a Scottish provenance by O’Neill. Evidence points, however, to an English provenance.
