A hearty thumbs up from me!
You've composed a great hornpipe. It leaves a con trail. By gum I think I'll learn it.
A couple of high G graces from high A and high G to fix--but hey that's a proof reading matter.
Hope to see more of your tunes.
Thanks,
-David.

LOVE IT!!!
I have to say, GREAT PIECE!!! I loved it. As a younger piper, I greatly enjoyed the more upbeat tempo and pulse that it took. It is an awesome song!!!

Re: Pipe Corporal Johnny Harper - Hornpipe
I really like your tune. It has a very unique rythm.
Hi all!
Thanks for your very kind words.
HOWEVER -
I am annoyed to report that the first part of the tune is very similar, if not the same as another hornpipe I know . I never realised at the time because the music was flowing out of me onto the paper, so sorry guys but I can only take credit for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th parts.
Cheers

That's ok
Happens all the time--even browsing through big published collections one can see parts and phrases repeated among tunes, and a lot of use of the word composer where the word arranger might be better spent. In the "organized" folk music world, including 18th & 19th century Scotland, there used to be public battles over the source of lyrics and melodies.
I once composed a beautiful, flowing slow air, which turned out to be a Negro Spiritual, which itself had roots in an old Welsh folk tune--both from genres which I love very much. And ten there's the time I composed "Bringing in the Sheeves," which some 19th century character had the nerve to plagarize out from under my corner of the space-time continuum!
It is still a nice tune, and your mark is upon it. Like a prominent US piping authority once said (and I paraphrase), "there's only nine notes, for G-d's sake, you try composing a completely original tune."

As David so ELOQUENTLY said......The tune has its own merits....Don't let a similar tune pattern or phrasing deter you in your efforts!....Keep them coming!
