FITZGERALD'S HORNPIPE [2]. AKA and see "Corney Drew's Hornpipe," "Dwyer's Hornpipe (1)," "Teresa Halpin's Reel." Irish, Hornpipe (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Breathnach's "Fitzgerald's Hornpipe (1)” is a version of this tune. Paul de Grae suggests the "Fitzgerald's Hornpipe," title from music manuscripts of County Cork Church of Ireland cleric and uilleann piper wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist) (1828-1894), may refer to William Fitzgerald of Conrea, Ballydesmond. Fitzgerald was a travelling fiddle master and a contemporary of Corney Drew, who wrote a music manuscript dating from 1866, after which he emigrated to America and was lost to history. His manuscript survived in Ireland, however (Dan Herlihy has a copy, notes Paul). The melody appears as "Corney Drew's Hornpipe" in several of Captain O'Neill's publications.
Cognate tunes in this family include P.W. Joyce's "Dwyer's Hornpipe (1)" and Frank Roche's "Teresa Halpin's Reel."
