NEW DROPS OF BRANDY. AKA and see "Cummilum," "Annotation:Drops of Brandy (1), "Hoppity Hoppity." English, Jig (9/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears under this title in Northumbrian piper John Peacock's c. 1805 publication [1], but is well-known simply as "Drops of Brandy (1)." See also the Irish "Cummilum" which may be an ancestral tune. Carl Hardebeck's "Hoppity Hoppity" is almost an exact copy of Peacock's tune.
