Bill Collins'

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Bill Collins' is a traditional hornpipe composed in 4/4 meter by the accordion player Bill Collins, whose playing style defined much of twentieth-century Irish traditional music in London. The tune is written in the key of G major and is typically performed with the driving rhythm and buoyant phrasing characteristic of traditional Irish hornpipes. Because the specific historical circumstances surrounding its composition are largely unrecorded, the piece is best appreciated through its vibrant melodic construction and its enduring popularity in modern session repertoire.
