CLARK'S HORNPIPE [1] (Crannciuil ui Cleireac). AKA and see "Jim Clark's Hornpipe," "Ivy Leaf Hornpipe" (American). Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first strain is the same as "Morpeth Rant." The title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by folklorist/musicologist Vance Randolph, published in 1954, and it appears the tune had some currency in the Midwest. The melody is un-attributed in O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903), and it appears likely he copied the tune from Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). See note for "Jim Clark's Hornpipe" -- Clark was a sometime minstrel, banjoist and banjo manufacturer.
