GROVES (HORNPIPE), THE (Crannciuil na Tor-Coillte). AKA and see "The Drunken Sailor," "Jackson's Hornpipe" [2]. Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard. ABCDE (O'Neill/1850 & 1001): AABBCCDD'EE (Mitchell): AABB'CC'DDEE (O'Neill/Krassen). Bayard (1981) believes the tune may be an elaborated dance form "based on the simple, fundamental strain of 'Johnnie Cope', and may perhaps be descended from that rather old air. While generally in the major tonality, accidentals and a naturalized 'f' are more or less frequent in the tune, depending on the version. O'Neill obtained his setting from the great piper Patrick Tuohey, though earlier (c.1880) had been impressed with a version of the tune by piper John Hicks. The tune is almost identical with "The Drunken Sailor," save that the latter is set in the dorian mode. Breathnach (1985) remarks it is similar to "The Bank of Turf." The title appears in a list of tunes in his repertoire brought by Philip Goodman, the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth, to the Feis Ceoil in Belfast in 1898 (Breathnach, 1997).
