"Passaic Hornpipe" also known as "Trafalgar Hornpipe" is an American hornpipe in cut time and<br> A Major. The parts are played AABB.<br> It was named for the former mill town of Passaic, New Jersey, settled by the Dutch in 1679 and<br> incorporated as a city in 1873, a decade before the tune was published in Ryan's Mammoth<br> Collection (1883).<br> Essentially the same tune also can be found in Ryan's collection in 2/4 time under the<br> title "Trafalgar Hornpipe". John Hartford and Stacy Phillips both note the first strain is<br> the same as<br> "Brilliancy".<br> It was printed in <br> Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883) and<br> Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940).<br>
