Miss Richard's

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Miss Richard's is a traditional hornpipe in four-four time and D major whose exact composer and historical origin remain unknown. Played with the characteristic bounce and steady drive of a traditional hornpipe, the tune suits the lively tempo typically favored for Irish and Scottish dance music. Because detailed historical records are lacking for this piece, musicians approach it primarily through the shared repertoire of regional folk tradition.
