Tune properties and standard notation


IRONBRIDGE HORNPIPE, THE. English, Hornpipe. England, Shropshire. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Editor Gordon Ashman believes the hornpipe may be a locally composed Shropshire tune. There is an iron bridge in Colebrook Dale, Shropshire, begun in 1777 and the first bridge to be made of that metal in the world; the village that sprang up at the site of the work took its name from the structure.

Source for notated version: a c. 1837-1840 MS by Shropshire musician John Moore [Ashman].

Printed sources: Ashman (The Ironbridge Hornpipe), 1991; No. 44a, p. 16.
