Don't Wake Me

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Dont Wake Me is a traditional hornpipe of uncertain origin, meaning its exact geographical roots and historical associations remain unknown. Written in 4/4 meter and the key of D major, the tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and buoyant tempo typical of the genre. Because specific historical documentation is lacking, musicians typically approach it with the lively, articulated phrasing common to traditional English and Irish dance music.
