PASSAIC HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Trafalgar Hornpipe." American, Hornpipe. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Named for the former mill town of Passaic, New Jersey, settled by the Dutch in 1679 and incorporated as a city in 1873, a decade before the tune was published in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). Essentially the same tune also can be found in Ryan's collection under the title "Trafalgar Hornpipe." John Hartford and Stacy Phillips both note the first strain is the same as "Brilliancy."
