Hodgson Square

Three-two · 3/2 · D major

Hodgson Square is a three-two hornpipe composed by John Young and set in the key of D major. The tune features the distinctive 3/2 meter characteristic of Northern English and Scottish three-twos, requiring a brisk tempo and a driving, rhythmic playing style. Because specific historical associations and the exact date of composition are not reliably documented, musicians interpret the piece primarily through its robust melodic structure.
