Father Dollard's sheet music

Father Dollard's is a tune title represented by scores titled Father Dollard's and Father Dollard's Hornpipe. The available versions open in D major, with one notated in 4/4 and two in 2/2. The records do not give a composer or a verified historical origin.

Two available scores are explicitly titled Father Dollard's Hornpipe, so the tune is presented as a hornpipe in those versions. A third score is titled simply Father Dollard's and is not labelled as a hornpipe. The title evidence alone does not establish that every version is a hornpipe.

All three available Father Dollard's scores open with a key signature of two sharps, given as D major. That describes the opening notation; it does not show whether any version changes key later.

Father Dollard's appears in two meters across the available scores: the version titled Father Dollard's is in 4/4, while the two titled Father Dollard's Hornpipe are in 2/2. The time signature describes how the music is notated, not a verified tempo.

No composer is identified for Father Dollard's in the available score records; one score credits the music to anon. The title alone does not establish an author, so a named composer should not be assumed without further evidence.

Choose the score whose title and notation match what you need: Father Dollard's is notated in 4/4, while the Father Dollard's Hornpipe versions are notated in 2/2. All three open in D major. The available information does not identify which is the earliest or most authoritative setting.
