O'FARRELL'S HORNPIPE. Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Jerry Sullivan and Brian McCandless (2005) are of the opinion this is a composition of turn-of-the 19th century piper biography:O'Farrell, "...a beautiful melody that uses close to the full range of the uilleann pipe chanter." The tune was entered into the mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork uilleann piper and Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman, note-for-note the same as printed by O'Farrell [1].
