Back to New Century (2) (The)

NEW CENTURY [2], THE (An Ceadbliadain Nuad). AKA and see "George Ross’ Hornpipes." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title undoubtedly refers to the new 20th century, corresponding to the time Chicago collector, flute player and Chief of Police, Francis O'Neill, prepared his first publication, Music of Ireland (1903), and the heyday of the Chicago Irish Music Club. The tune was set in 'G' major by Francis O'Neill, but over time mixed major/mixolydian versions have become more popular. The group De Danann recorded the hornpipe as the first of "George Ross' Hornpipes" (medley) on their album "Hibernian Rhapsody."
