Jasmine Flower

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Jasmine Flower is a traditional Chinese folk tune that was recorded as early as the eighteenth century on porcelain plates and later documented in European travel accounts. The specific composer is not recorded, and its precise regional origins in China remain uncertain beyond its broad historical association with the Jiangsu province. As a hornpipe in D major with a 4/4 meter, the melody features a graceful, pentatonic-inflected character that is traditionally played with a lyrical and flowing style rather than a standard driving dance tempo.
