Champion, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

The Champion is a traditional hornpipe in four-four meter and D major composed by the nineteenth-century musician James Hill. The tune is characterized by a lively and rhythmic character typical of nineteenth-century Tyneside hornpipes, requiring a driving and articulation-focused playing style. While detailed records of its early performances remain scarce, the tune is well established in the traditional repertoire through its inclusion in standard historical fiddle collections.
