Barham Down

Three-two · 3/2 · D major

Barham Down is a traditional English three-two hornpipe in D major with an uncertain exact origin and history. The tune features the stately and robust character typical of the 3/2 meter, requiring a driving rhythmic pulse and steady bowing or articulation in performance. Because specific historical associations and composer details are not well established, musicians focus on its lively tempo and traditional modal charm to deliver an engaging interpretation.
