Tiger, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The traditional hornpipe known as The Tiger is set in G major with a 4/4 meter, though its exact geographical origin and historical background remain uncertain. Because no composer is reliably attributed to the tune, it is passed down through oral tradition as an instrumental piece. It is typically played in a lively, rhythmic style characteristic of traditional British and Irish dance music.
