Trafalgar

Hornpipe · 4/4 · A major

Trafalgar is a traditional hornpipe in four-four meter and the key of A major, though its specific composer and geographic origin are not documented in historical records. Characterized by a steady, driving rhythm suited to the lively footwork of traditional step dancing, it is typically played with a crisp articulation and a swung eighth-note feel. While the tune's title strongly suggests a 19th-century naval commemoration related to the famous British victory, specific historical associations or early print appearances remain unverified.
