JACK THE HORSE COURSERS HORNPIPE. English, Hornpipe (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in Walsh's third volume of Lancashire tunes (Lancashire Jigs, Hornpipes, Joaks, etc.) published around the year 1731. John Offord (1985) notes that an extended version of "Jack the Horse Courser's Hornpipe" can be heard in wikipedia:George_Fredric_Handel's opera Ottone, re di Germania ("Otto, King of Germany") first staged in the King's Theater, Haymarket, London, in 1723.
