Back to Lady Susan Montgomery's Hornpipe

LADY SUSAN MONTGOMERY'S HORNPIPE. English, Scottish; Triple Hornpipe (3/2 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune belongs to a fairly large family of Anglo-Scots triple-hornpipe tunes that includes such titles as "Punchinello (1)," "Punchanello's Hornpipe," "Three Rusty Swords," "Flat Cap," "Christmas is Coming," "Three Sharp Knives" and others. See also David Young's "Lady Christian Montgomery's Hornpipe," another 3/2 hornpipe that is adjacent to "Lady Susan Mongomery's Hornpipe" in his manuscript. They were presumably related, and perhaps sisters.
