Buckley's Hornpipe

 BUCKLEY'S HORNPIPE. American, Hornpipe. E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A difficult composition requiring position playing on the fiddle in the second strain. The hornpipe has been credited to J. Red Buckley, according to Ryan's/Cole's, and to Fred Buckley (of the Original Buckely Serenaders) according to White's, however, the earliest publication, Howe's 1000 (c. 1867), does not give composer credits at all. See also "Buckley's Favorite Jig," presumably by the same family of composers. Printed sources: Cole (1000 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; p. 101. Howe (1000 Jigs and Reels), c. 1867; p. 51. Ryan's Mammoth Collection, 1883; p. 136. White's Unique Collection, 1896; No. 144, p. 25.
