PASSAIC HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Trafalgar Hornpipe." American, Hornpipe (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Named for the former mill town of Passaic, New Jersey, settled by the Dutch in 1679 and incorporated as a city in 1873, a decade before the tune was published in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). Essentially the same tune also can be found in Ryan's collection in 2/4 time under the title "Trafalgar Hornpipe." John Hartford and Stacy Phillips both note the first strain is the same as "Brilliancy."
