Notation Note: The tunes below are recorded in what is called “abc notation.” They can easily be converted to standard musical notation via highlighting with your cursor starting at “X:1” through to the end of the abc’s, then “cutting-and-pasting” the highlighted notation into one of the many abc conversion programs available, or at concertina.net’s incredibly handy “ABC Convert-A-Matic” at

http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html 

 

**Please note that the abc’s in the Fiddler’s Companion work fine in most abc conversion programs. For example, I use abc2win and abcNavigator 2 with no problems whatsoever with direct cut-and-pasting. However, due to an anomaly of the html, pasting the abc’s into the concertina.net converter results in double-spacing. For concertina.net’s conversion program to work you must remove the spaces between all the lines of abc notation after pasting, so that they are single-spaced, with no intervening blank lines. This being done, the F/C abc’s will convert to standard notation nicely. Or, get a copy of abcNavigator 2 – its well worth it.   [AK]

HESITATION WALTZ. AKA and see "Shepherd's Wife Waltz." The Hesitation waltz was a slow, leisurely dance form popular around the turn of the 20th century, apparently derived from Viennese operettas (according to Edward B. Marks, They All Sang, 1934, pg. 157).

HESSELBY STEPPEN. Scandinavian. In the repertoire of Wisconsin Swedish musician Fritz Swenson.

 

HESSIAN CAMP. AKA and see "Hessian Dance [1]."

 

HESSIAN DANCE [1]. AKA and see "Hessian Camp," "Asian Camp," "Ty Tol, or the country dance," "Old Roger." English, American; Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). ABC. This English tune appears in several latter 18th century publications after first appearing in Peter Thompson's 1758 Twenty Four Country Dances and again in Thompson's 200 Country Dances, volume II (1765). Van Cleef and Keller (1980) explain the tune was transported to America where it became quite popular and appeared under several titles as well as "Hessian Dance" (see alternates listed). American Henry Beck, for example, in his German flute MS of 1786 copied the tune twice (pgs. 39 & 53) as "Hessian dance" and "Asian camp." The dance figures can be found in a few American MS collections and copybooks, though many differ from the English versions; Clement Weeks,' in his Greenland, New Hampshire, MS of 1783, gives directions for a dance called "Hessian Camp" which fits a three phrase tune and probably was danced to this version of "Hessian Dance."   

 

HESSIAN DANCE [2].  English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard. AABB. The tune and dance, entirely different than version #1, appears in Thompson's 200 Country Dances, volume III (1773). Van Cleef and Keller (1980) find a similar American dance in America in the 1808 Select Collection (Otsego, New York), though the tune has not been found in other sources in this country.

 

HESSIANS' MARCH, THE. AKA and see “Where Gadie Rins.”

 

HEWITSON'S HORNPIPE. American, Hornpipe. F Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Cole (1000 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; pg. 115. Ryan’s Mammoth Collection, 1883; pg. 153.

HEWLETT. AKA and see “Fine Toast to Hewlett,” "Hulet's Health," “Planxty Hewlett.” Irish, Air (3/8 or 3/4 time). D Major (Barnes, Brody, Johnson, Spandaro): A Major (Complete Collection ..., O’Sullivan). Standard tuning. AB (Complete Collection..., O’Sullivan): AAB (Barnes, Brody, Mallinson, Tubridy): AA’B (Ó Canainn): AABB (Johnson). This “lively bacchanalian composition” (read: ‘bawdy drinking song’) is generally credited to blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670‑1738), who lost his sight at the age of 18 from smallpox. By the age of 21 he had been trained as an itinerant musician, and set off with a guide and two horses to make his way in the world. Donal O’Sulivan (1958) says that there are no attributions of air or words to O’Carolan, “but both are so characteristic that there is little doubt that it was composed by him.” The melody is called "Hulet's Health" (“Sláinte Bhreagh Huilet,” or ‘a toast to Hulet’) in Edward Bunting's 1809 collection of Irish tunes (set in E Flat Major), where the melody first appears as a toast to Mr. Hulet/Hewlett and his hospitality. Bunting, however, did not state from whom he obtained the air. O’Sullivan (Complete Collection) prints the tune in A Major, though D is generally the key favored in modern times. In New England it is sometimes played as a waltz at dances. Bunting gave no source for the piece but collected some stanzas of lyric supposedly set to the tune from Blind Billy O'Malley of Louisborough, County Mayo:

***

Sláinte bhreagh Hiúlit sgaoil chughain é gan mhaill,

'S ná cásaigidh dúbuilte lionn, "punch" is meadhar.

Mar bhíos plátaí 'gus púntaíag an u/r-fhlaith le raint

Ins a' tráth nach mbíonn diúrna i m-éan-chumann a mbíonn _sign_.

Imirt is ól fíona, céol píoba, _viol_ is cruit,

Cúilfhionn na n-ór-dhlaoi i sco/mra dhá saigheadh aige,

Óir is é siúd _delight_ an fhir mheidhrigh gan brón

Bheith páirteach le maighdean fá_mhoidore nó dhó.

HEXHAM RACES. AKA and see “Clogher Cross,” “Jude’s Farewell,” "Kenmore Lads," "Kenmuir's Up and Awa," “Pins and Needles,” "The Boys From the West," "I Will If I Can [1]." English, Jig. England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Hexham is located outside of Newcastle, England. The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes ("The Northern Minstrel's Budget"), which he published c. 1800. “Hexham Races” is a variant of the Scottish "Kenmuir's Up and Awa" and has Irish variants (“Boys from the West,” “I will if I can,” “Jude’s Farewell”) as well. Hexham Races is a racecourse in Northumberland (the only one to survive). Horseracing in Hexham dates from at least the 1720’s when matches were conducted on Tyne Green, although by the 1880’s it had ceased from competition at other locations. It was restarted and reinvigorated in 1890 by a gentleman racing enthusiast from the local gentry, and became the seat of the Heart of All England Steeplechase (the winner is presented with the Heart of All England Cup), so called because of the story that King James I of England, while riding south to claim his crown, passed by near Hexham and, taken with the countryside, supposedly uttered, “verily, this is the heart of all England.” The tune also appears in John W. Moore’s (Tyneside, England) music manuscript book of 1841. Kennedy (Fiddlers Tune Book), vol. 1, 1951; No. 79, pg. 39. Raven (English County Dance Tunes), 1984; pg. 104.
