Matinee

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Matinee is a traditional hornpipe in four-four meter and the key of D major with no verified composer attribution. Played with the characteristic steady, bouncy rhythm and swung phrasing typical of the genre, it features an uplifting and lively melodic character well suited for dancing. Because its exact historical origins and early documentation remain uncertain, the tune is best known through modern traditional music repertoires.
