PRINCE ALBERT'S HORNPIPE [2]. Scottish, Canadian, American; Hornpipe. C Major (Cole): D Major (Messer). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was first printed in Boston publisher Elias Howe's Musician's Companion, Part 3 (1844), where it is attributed to one E.L. White. Edward Little White (1809-1851) was a journeyman musician-composer in the mid-1800's in the greater Boston region, a teacher of the piano forte and organ. He was a prolific author of numerous instrumental and sacred and secular vocal publications, including Organ without a Master, (Oliver Ditson Company), Cecillian Glee Book (1858, Boston music publishers Russell & Fuller), the Boston Melodeon (1846), Mother's Assistant and Young Lady's Fried (1846, Elias Howe Co.), Young America's Collection, and so on. The title honors Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha [1] (1819-1861), who married his cousin, Queen Victoria, in 1839.
