Lads Of Deptford, The

Three-two · 3/2 · A minor

The traditional English tune known as The Lads of Deptford is an instrumental piece of uncertain historical origin and no verified composer. Written in A minor, it is set in 3/2 meter as a three-two, a lively dance rhythm characterized by its distinctive triple-duple feel. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscript sources for this specific setting are not well established, musicians focus on its robust melodic character and driving Renaissance dance rhythm when performing it today.
