BLACK MARY('S) HORNPIPE [2]. AKA - "Black Mary's Hole." AKA and see "The Shields Hornpipe." English, "Old" Hornpipe (3/2 time). D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. This melody, re-published in John Offord's Greeny Cheshire Way and Tony Doyle's The Plain Brown Wrapper Tune Book, is a variant of "Shields Hornpipe," which appears in William Vickers' 18th century Northumbrian dance tune collection. Vickers' title is a reference to English composer, violinist and violist, William Shield (1748-1829), and who, like Vickers, was from the northeast of England. It also appears in the Thomas Hammersley music copybook (London, 1790). The original appears in Walsh's Third Collection of Lancashire Jiggs, Hornpipes, Joaks etc. (London, 1735), Walsh's Compleat Country Dancing Master, vol. 3 (London, 1749), and Daniel Wright's Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances (London. C. 1740), published by Johnson, where it appears as "Black Mary's Hole." The tune appears in a few American musicians' manuscripts, including those of Whittier Perkins (Massachusetts, 1790) and Edward Murphey (Newport, 1790).
