Old Story-Teller, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The traditional hornpipe known as The Old Story-Teller is played in 4/4 time and set in the key of G major, though its specific geographic origin and exact composer remain unrecorded. It features the steady, bouncing rhythm characteristic of traditional dance music, making it well-suited for lively foot-tapping accompaniment. Because reliable historical associations and early publication dates are lacking for this piece, its musical character stands as its primary defining feature within traditional repertoires.
