STAR (HORNPIPE) [1], THE (Crannciuil an Realt). Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Paul de Grae declares the tune a curiosity, and identifies it as an amalgam of two tunes printed in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883). “The first part is that of ‘Gray's Opera House’ while the second part begins with the second part of “Amazon” and concludes in the same way as the first part of ‘Gray’s Opera House.’”
