Clark's Hornpipe (1)

 CLARK'S HORNPIPE [1] (Crannciuil ui Cleireac). AKA and see "Jim Clark's Hornpipe," "Ivy Leaf Hornpipe" (American). Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first strain is the same as "Morpeth Rant." The title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by folklorist/musicologist Vance Randolph, published in 1954, and it appears the tune had some currency in the Midwest. The melody is un-attributed in O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903), and it appears likely he copied the tune from Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). See note for "Jim Clark's Hornpipe" -- Clark was a sometime minstrel, banjoist and banjo manufacturer. Printed sources: Cole (1000 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; p. 91 (appears as "Jim Clark's Hornpipe"). O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; p. 188. O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 1663, p. 309. O'Neill (Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems), 1907; No. 879, p. 151.
