New Century Hornpipe

Find traditional instrumental music

In addition to what is already here, the tune may be found at https://www.loc.gov/item/2014568397/ Its source is listed as someone named Elfort who was active 1790-1825. This particular page was published in 1800. The publisher is unknown. The other selection on the page is "A Favorite March in the Demolution [sic] of the Bastille." I also came across this bit of information: Elfort was English and is mentioned in "Secular Music in America, 1801-1825," a bibliography by Richard J Wolfe with introduction by Carleton Sprague Smith. New York: New York Public Library, 1964. Mr. Elfort also wrote a piano sonata celebrating the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789.
