Austin's

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Written in 4/4 time and set in the key of D major, Austin's is a modern hornpipe composed by the prolific New Hampshire accordion and piano player Bob McQuillen. As a tune created within the New England contra dance tradition, it features the characteristic bouncy rhythm and driving tempo expected of dance music in this genre. Because it is a contemporary composition by a well-documented tradition bearer, the tune is primarily performed today by contra dance and Celtic-influenced musicians honoring the New Hampshire style.
