QUEEN'S HORNPIPE [3]. AKA and see "Spring Garden (1) (The)." Irish, Hornpipe (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is a member of a family of English, Irish and American hornpipes that includes "Spring Gardens Hornpipe," the derivative "Spring Garden (1) (The)," and several hornpipes from the publications of the Elias Howe music publishing company of Boston-- "Amazon," "Norton's Favorite," "Old Timer Clog," and "Remembrance of Dublin." The source for the variant "Queen's Hornpipe [3]" is County Cavan whistle player Johnny Maguire, the father of Belfast fiddler Sean Maguire. Johnny is credited on James Carty's recording "Upon My Soul" (2006). Where Johnny Maguire may have picked up the tune is not known, however, New York musician and researcher Don Meade has an interesting suggestion that the Maguires may have obtained it from Ryan's Mammoth Collection (Boston, 1883), and that Sean Maguire may have confused the name of the tune with other tunes in the book. Meade points out that Maguire knew the book well, and got a number of tunes from it, and that there are tunes in the collection attributed to a musician named Johnny Queen[1].
