Death & Dr. Hornbrook

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Death & Dr. Hornbrook is a traditional jig in six-eight meter and D major whose precise historical origins and composer remain uncertain. Played in a lively and rhythmic style characteristic of traditional dance music, it features the bright melodic contours typical of fiddle tunes in this key. Because early written records and reliable historical associations are lacking, the tune is best known today through its continued performance in traditional sessions.
