Bath, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The Bath is an English hornpipe in 4/4 meter and G major whose exact composer and historical origin are currently uncertain. It is characterized by a lively and rhythmic dance tempo typical of eighteenth-century theatrical and social dancing repertoires. Because detailed historical records for the tune are lacking, musicians typically approach it with the bright articulation and spirited ornamentation standard for traditional English hornpipes.
