Purlongs, The

Three-two · 3/2 · D major

The traditional tune The Purlongs is a three-two dance piece notated in the key of D major with an uncertain historical origin and no verified composer.

Because reliable historical associations for the piece are not established, musicians focus on its energetic melodic interplay and robust triple meter structure.
