MR. WILSON'S HORNPIPE. Scottish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Mr. Wilson's Hornpipe" was composed by Edinburgh fiddler-composer biography:Robert Mackintosh (c. 1845-1808) and was printed in his Fourth Collection of New Strathspey Reels' (c. 1804). Mackintosh moved to London in the last decade or so of his life, and it is possible the tune was composed for noted London dancing master Thomas Wilson, author of A Companion to the Ball Room (1816), although there is no information that has surfaced at present to suggest this.
