North Wind, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The North Wind is a traditional hornpipe in four-four time and G major whose exact geographic origin and composer are not historically documented. Played with the characteristic steady swing and rhythmic drive of a dance hornpipe, it features lively phrasing well suited for traditional instrumental performance. Because historical records for the tune are sparse, musicians typically approach it through modern revival repertoires rather than a specific historical association.
