A Soldier's Wish

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

A Soldier's Wish is a traditional hornpipe in four-four meter and the key of D major with no verified composer attribution. Because its specific historical origins remain uncertain, the tune is best defined by its lively tempo and characteristic dotted rhythms typical of the hornpipe genre. It is commonly performed in traditional sessions with a bright, bouncing character suited to both dancers and instrumentalists.
