Hiawatha

Hornpipe · 4/4 · C dorian

Hiawatha is a traditional hornpipe tune with an uncertain exact origin and no verified composer attribution. Set in the key of C dorian with a 4/4 meter, the tune features a lively and driving rhythmic character well-suited for traditional dance accompaniment. Because its early historical background is not definitively established, musicians typically focus on its energetic melodic contours and rhythmic propulsion when performing it today.
