SARATOGA HORNPIPE [4]. AKA and see "Chantiers (Les)," "Logging-Camps Reel," "Ned Kendall's Hornpipe (2)," "Reel des chantiers," "Reel du chauffeur." American, Canadian; Hornpipe (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Saratoga Hornpipe [4]" is a variant of "Ned Kendall's Hornpipe (2)," named for a famed Massachusetts keyed bugle virtuoso and bandleader of the mid-19th century. Another variant was popularly recorded for Victor Records by Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard (1873-1947) in the 78 RPM era, as "Reel du chauffeur" (1929) and "Reel des chantiers" (1937). The tune as "Saratoga Hornpipe [4]" was entered into the large 19th century music manuscript collection[1](No. 341, p. 95) of prosperous dairy farmer, miller, sometime printer and bookbinder, and fiddler James Barry (1819-1906) of Six Mile Brook, Pictou County, northern Nova Scotia. Barry's tune is cognate in the first strain with Roche's "Saratoga Hornpipe (2)" but the second strains are different. Both strains are cognate with Allard's tunes.
