Flat Cap

Three-two · 3/2 · D minor

Flat Cap is a traditional English three-two hornpipe in D minor with an uncertain historical origin and no verified composer. The tune is characterized by its driving 3/2 meter, which gives it a rhythmic, danceable quality well suited to energetic interpretations. Because its early history is not well documented, performers generally focus on bringing out its robust melodic contour and lively modal character within traditional instrumental settings.
