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.

English (originally), Scottish, Irish,
It was one of the "missing
tunes" from William Vickers' 1770 Northumbrian manuscript. The older form
of the tune can be found in the music manuscript collections of C.J. Surtees
(Tyneside, 1819), Joshua Jackson (north Yorkshire, 1798), Rev. Robert Harrison (Brampton, Cumbria, c.
1815, as “Princess of Wales’ Hornpipe”), John Moore (Shropshire, 1830, as “New
Sailor’s Hornpipe”), and in a manuscript by an unknown hand in the Vaughn
Williams Memorial Library (as “West’s Hornpipe” with an added eight bars). Sources
