Excelsior

Hornpipe · 4/4 · A major

Excelsior is a traditional hornpipe typically not attributed to a specific composer and lacking a definitive historical origin. Set in A major with a 4/4 meter, the tune features an upbeat and lively character well-suited to standard instrumental dance accompaniment. Because its precise historical background remains uncertain, players generally approach it with the bright articulation and steady bounce characteristic of traditional hornpipes.
