Butchers Row

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Butchers Row is a traditional hornpipe structured in 4/4 meter and set in the key of G major, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune is typically played with the bouncy, dotted rhythm and steady tempo characteristic of traditional English and Celtic dance music. Because detailed historical associations have not been reliably established for this piece, its enduring appeal rests entirely on its lively melodic character and suitability for social dance accompaniment.
