Old Abigail's Delight

Three-two · 3/2 · D major

Old Abigail's Delight is a traditional English three-two hornpipe in D major with an uncertain early history. The tune features a sprightly character driven by the distinctive 3/2 meter, which groups beats into three half notes per measure. It is typically performed in a lively, rhythmic style suited for traditional English country dancing.
