McDERMOTT'S HORNPIPE [2] (Crannciuil Mic Diarmaid). AKA and see "Monkey Hornpipe (2)," "Phillips's Hornpipe," "South Shore," "Taylor's Hornpipe," "Ted Smith's Hornpipe," "Tite Smith's Hornpipe." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Phillip Heath-Coleman, in his article âCeol rince na mBreathnachâ (Musical Traditions Article MT272 [1]), traces the melody in British and Irish tradition, beginning with the cognate âPhillipsâs Hornpipeâ from the 1837 music manuscripts of John Moore (Wellington, Shropshire). Jackie Small found that Irish piper Patsy Touhey (1865-1923) recorded a version (for Francis OâNeill, on wax cylinder) of the hornpipe under the title âTaylorâs Hornpipeâ (perhaps named for the New York/Philadelphia Ă©migrĂ© uilleann pipe-making brothers Billy and Charles Taylor). Touheyâs tune does not appear in the OâNeill collection (although it does in the Dunn Family manuscripts), but OâNeill did print a version under the title âMcDermottâs Reel (2),â from the playing of irascible County Tipperery fiddler Edward Cronin.
