TURNER'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Fair Maidens_(1)_(The)," "Rival Hornpipe," "Rival Reel." American, Hornpipe (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was later printed in Ryan's Mammoth Collection(1883) as "Rival Hornpipe" and as "Fair Maidens (1) (The)" by Francis O'Neill. Boston music publisher Elias Howe printed "Turner's Reel" in his Musician's Omnibus Nos. 6 & 7 (1880-1882), and, while there is no musical relationship between the two tunes, it may be that the title refers to a Turner who was a bandleader or soloist in the Boston area active in the mid-19th century.
