Make 'n' Break Hornpipe

Reel · 4/4 · C major

Make 'n' Break Hornpipe is a traditional fiddle tune of uncertain exact origin, though it is widely played within North American and maritime folk music traditions. Set in the key of C major with a 4/4 meter, the tune functions musically as a lively reel driven by a brisk tempo and an energetic character well-suited for dancing. Because historical documentation for its creation is lacking, players typically approach it with a dynamic and rhythmic style characteristic of traditional maritime fiddle repertoires.
