CLOONE HORNPIPE (Crannciuil Cluain). AKA and see "O'Gallagher's Hornpipe." Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. O'Neill (1922) remarks: "('The Cloone Hornpipe') was obtained from Sergt. James Early who learned it from his tutor on the Union Pipes, 'Old Man' Quinn. Like many other fine tunes it was anonymous, so it was named 'The Cloone Hornpipe' in honor of the famous piper's native town and parish in County Leitrim, Ireland. Its continued popularity is evidenced by its inclusion in a recent Irish Collection [AK/ed. -- Frank Roches', perhaps] under the identical name invented for it by its sponsor, Sergt. James Early of Chicago." O'Neill also printed another version of the tune as "O'Gallagher's Hornpipe" (Music of Ireland, 1903, No. 1617). See also the related "Nelson's Hornpipe (1)"/"Lord Nelson's Hornpipe (2)." See also notes for "Annotation:Old Man Quinn" and "Annotation:Gusty's Frolics" for more on Quinn and Early.
