Hornpipe · 4/4 · E minor

The traditional hornpipe known as The Eureka is played in 4/4 meter and is set in the key of E minor, though specific details regarding its exact geographical origin, composer, and historical background remain uncertain. Musically, it features the characteristic bouncy rhythm and driving tempo typical of traditional fiddle and dance repertoire in this genre. Because reliable historical documentation for this tune is scarce, players generally interpret it using standard traditional articulation and ornamentation suitable for an E minor hornpipe.
