"McDermott's Hornpipe", in Gaelic "Crannciuil Mic Diarmaid" also known as<br> "Monkey Hornpipe", "Phillips's Hornpipe", "South Shore", "Taylor's Hornpipe"<br> "Ted Smith's Hornpipe" or "Tite Smith's Hornpipe" is an Irish hornpipe in D Major.<br> The parts are played AABB.<br> Phillip Heath-Coleman,<br> in his article “Ceol rince na mBreathnach” (Musical Traditions Article MT272),<br> traces the melody in British and Irish tradition,<br> beginning with the cognate “Phillips’s Hornpipe” from the 1837 music<br> manuscripts of John Moore (Wellington, Shropshire).<br> Jackie Small found that Irish piper Patsy Touhey (1865-1923) recorded a version<br> (for Francis O’Neill, on wax cylinder) of the hornpipe under the title<br> “Taylor’s Hornpipe” (perhaps named for the New York/Philadelphia<br> émigré uilleann pipe-making brothers Billy and Charles Taylor).<br> It was printed in O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903),<br> O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907) and<br> Krassen's O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1976).<br>
