Johnnie Cope

Here I play a great Scottish hornpipe from the old Jacobite song Johnnie Cope. The song was written by a Scottish poet of the name Adam Skirving, while the tune is of anonymous origin. At some point the tune migrated to Ireland where it was significantly expanded from its original form into the six-part piece that I play here. For a bit of the history of the original song, see my video on it here ( • Backdrops: About Johnn... ).

Just sublime.

Perfect! This version of Cope is new to me. I’d love to hear your version of Farewell to Erin some time. Thanks for posting!

Thank you very much! I learned this version from Martin Hayes. I'll add Farewell to Erin to the list!
