TIGER HORNPIPE, THE (Cornphíopa an Tíogair). AKA and see "Blue Bonnet (1)," “Frank Roche's Favourite,” “Here Awa',” “John Roche's Favourite,” “Lady Ann Hope (1),” "Mike Coen's Fling," “Miss Thornton's Reel,” “O'Loughlin’s Reel,” "Queen of Clubs," “Salamanca (2),” “Signora Ferze's Hornpipe," "Woodford Fling (2).” Irish, Hornpipe (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A hornpipe setting of the Scottish reel “Lady Ann Hope (1),” attributed to John Pringle. Paul de Grae speculates the title is a whimsy of Denis Murphy’s who worked for a time in the Bronx Zoo, New York, but as Breathnach points out, there is no evidence for this. “Miss Thornton’s Reel” is a related tune. See also the cognate "Signora Ferze's Hornpipe" from County Cork cleric and uilleann piper James Goodman. See also reel settings in Breathnach Ceol Rince na hÉireann vol. V (1999, No. 120).
