FAVOURITE [6] (Hornpipe), THE. AKA and see "20th of May (The)," "Hornpipe (49)," "Morning Fair Hornpipe," "Poll of Wapping Hornpipe," "Tomorrow Morning," "Wedding Ring (6) (The)." English, Country Dance Tune (cut time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was originally published in Charles and Samuel Thompson's Compleat Collection, vol. 3 (London, 1773). As with numerous other tunes from the Thompsons' 1773 collection, it was entered into the 1788 music copybook of fiddlers John and William Pitt Turner (Norwich, Conn.). Under the title "20th of May (The)" and set as a hornpipe, the tune was entered in several musicians' manuscript collections of the first half of the 19th century. The Thompsons later printed the same tune, without the dotted rhythm and in 2/4 time, as "Wedding Ring (6) (The)" in their Compleat Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 4 (1780).
