Chester Castle

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Chester Castle is a traditional hornpipe in 4/4 meter and D major whose exact composer and early origins remain uncertain. The tune is characterized by a lively, driving rhythm typical of traditional English and Irish instrumental dance music. Because of its obscure history, it is best appreciated through its spirited melodic contour and standard fiddle-session playing style rather than any specific historical association.
