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