"The Pipe on the Hob (1)" (in Gaelic "An Píopa Air/Ar", "An Cluid/Iarta", "An Píopa ar anmBaic" or "Píobaire na Gríosaí") also known as "Piper of the Embers" in an Irish double jig in A Dorian. The parts are played AABBCC (Brody, Mallinson, Mulvihill, O'Neill, Taylor) or AA’BBCC (Mitchell). This is a favorite of Irish pipers. A hob was originally a raised surface in a fireplace directly aside where the cooking fire is built and was a place to rest a kettle or pot while it heated. In modern times a hob can also refer to a hotplate for boiling water for tea. Uilleann piper Séamus Ennis maintained one of the tune’s Irish names was properly translated as “Piper on the Hob” or “Piper of the Embers”, a poetic nickname for the 'musical' insect the cricket. Ennis recorded it under the latter title on his Forty Years of Irish Piping album. This is different from the D major tune of the same name in this collection which, besides being in a different key, has only 2 parts. It was printed in Brody's Fiddler’s Fakebook (1983), Mallinson's 100 Enduring (1995), Mitchell's Dance Music of Willie Clancy (1993), Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986), O'Neill (Krassen) (1976), O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903), O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907), Taylor's Music for the Sets: Yellow Book (1995) and Vallely's Learn to Play the Tin Whistle with the Armagh Pipers Club, vol. 3. It was recorded by Paddy O’Brien (195?), How To Change a Flat Tire on Traditional Music of Ireland and Shetland, The Bothy Band on Afterhours and Out of the Wind into the Sun (1977), Paddy Cronin on Kerry's Own Paddy Cronin (1977), Andy McGann, Felix Dolan & Joe Burke on A Tribute to Michael Coleman (c. 1965) and Seamus Ennis on Return to Fingal.
