MITCHELL'S HORNPIPE (Crannciuil Micil). Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Paul de Grae points out there is a "vaudeville" feel to this hornpipe, which may have led O'Neill to exclude the tune from his Dance Music of Ireland (1907), following criticisms that his Music of Ireland (1903) contained "non-native material"[1].


Additional notes
Source for notated version : - "J. O'Neill" [O'Neill]. Chicago Police Sergeant James O'Neill was a fiddler originally from County Down. He was a tutored musician and a good transcriber, and served as Francis O'Neill's collaborator on his early volumes.

Printed sources : - O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 1729, p. 321.
