Napoleon's Charge

Barndance · 4/4 · D major

Napoleon's Charge is a traditional D major tune in 4/4 meter formatted as a barndance, though its precise historical origins and composer remain uncertain. Musically, it is driven by a steady, rhythmic bounce characteristic of traditional barndances, making it well-suited for lively social dancing. Because reliable historical documentation for the tune is scarce, it is preserved primarily through oral tradition and regional instrumental playing.
