| Miss Christina / Queen's Hornpipe |
Becki wrote Miss Christina whilst staying in Isla Christina, a small town in Southern Spain. The tune was written in between the rain storms - playing fiddle in a small tent is not so easy... We both knew slightly different versions of the Queen's Hornpipe. Becki knew the tune as the Gypsey's Hornpipe from the Thomas Hardy collection. After much arguing we decided to go with the version from the William Andrew manuscript (from the Baring-Gould collection) as it was a bit more interesting! We play it first in G minor and then in its original key, D major. |
