Ebb Tide, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The Ebb Tide is a traditional hornpipe composed by the prolific nineteenth-century tunesmith James Hill. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the key of G major, it exhibits the characteristic bounce, dotted rhythms, and structured phrasing typical of Victorian-era instrumental dance music. While its exact historical associations beyond Hill's Tyneside repertoire are uncertain, the tune remains a lively and enduring staple among traditional session musicians.
