Key West, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · A major

The Key West is a traditional hornpipe typically played in 4/4 meter with the bright and lively character standard to the key of A major. Because specific historical records and a verified composer are lacking, the tune is best known through its circulation in traditional instrumental repertoires rather than a specific historical association. Its spirited tempo and melodic phrasing make it a well-suited piece for step dancing and traditional fiddle sessions.
