Butchers Of Bristol, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · E dorian

The Butchers of Bristol is a traditional English hornpipe of uncertain historical origin, as its composer and exact date are not established. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the E dorian mode, the tune features the characteristic bounce and steady tempo typical of traditional hornpipes. Because detailed historical associations are lacking, it is primarily valued today as a lively instrumental piece within the traditional folk repertoire.
