 FATHER DOLLARD'S HORNPIPE (Crannciuil an Atar Dollard, Crannciuil an t-Atair Dollaird). AKA and see "Harlequin (The)." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Source Father W.K. Dollard was a fiddler and flute player, born in Mooncoin in the 1860's. He was the rector of a parish near St. Johns, New Brunswick, and visited Chicago in 1901, where he attended sessions of the Irish Music Club. He died a few years afterward. O'Neill called him "amiable" and "unassuming", and appeared to admire his taste in tunes ("with a repertory of tunes as select as it was extensive"). Terry Moylan (Johnny O'Leary) gives the alternate title "The Harliquin."
