MANCHESTER HORNPIPE [3]. English, "Old" or Triple Hornpipe (3/2 time). D Minor (Walsh): E Minor (Offord): C Minor (Walsh). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (Offord): ABCDEFGH (Offord): AABBCCDDEEFFGG (Walsh). John Offord (1990) compares this tune with a typical Galliard and finds many rhythmic similarities. The melody appears in Walsh's Third Collection of Lancashire tunes (Lancashire Jigs, Hornpipes, Joaks, etc.) published around 1731. John Offord (1985) sees the tune as a development of composer Henry Purcell's "Enfield Common."
