JACK THE PIPER. AKA and see "Over the Hills and Far Away (2)." American, English (originally); March and Country Dance Tune (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). The tune, printed by New York music publisher Edward Riley in 1820, is a close version of the old and well-known English air and march "Over the Hills and Far Away (2)." Another American publisher, Elias Howe of Boston, printed a tune with a similar title, "Jack the Rider," which seems derived from the same tune Riley printed, but which is quite distanced, although recognizable.
