Worcester, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The traditional hornpipe known as The Worcester is of uncertain historical origin with no verified composer attribution. Set in the key of G major with a 4/4 meter, the tune features the steady, driving rhythm characteristic of traditional English dance music. Because detailed historical associations for the piece are not well established, musicians typically approach it with an upbeat, rhythmic playing style suited for social dance accompaniment.
