Harvest Home

D majorHornpipeIrishFirst notes: E, E E

“Harvest Home” is a traditional hornpipe circulating across English, Scottish, Irish, and North American traditions under a large cluster of alternate titles including “Cork Hornpipe,” “Cincinnati Hornpipe,” and “Reel des récoltes.” The tune appears in manuscript sources from the English north and west dating to at least the 1820s including the Browne Family collection (Troutbeck, Lake District, c. 1825) and Lionel Winship’s manuscript (Wark, Northumberland, 1833). It was in print by 1846 in Hamilton’s Universal Tune Book. Its second part, built on repeated A notes in ascending sequence, is one of the more recognizable passages in the hornpipe repertoire.
