SECOND STAR HORNPIPE, THE. AKA and see "Star Hornpipe (3) (The)," "Star of the East." Scottish (?), Hornpipe (cut time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The composition is attributed to G. Tate in Laybourn's Köhler’s Violin Repository vol. 2 (1881-1885). Unfortunately, there is no information that has surfaced on the attributed composer. However, the hornpipe was previously published in American by Elias Howe as Star Hornpipe (3) (The)" in his 1000 Jigs and Reels (c. 1967), and by Howe employee William Bradbury Ryan in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) as "Star of the East," without mention of Tate.
