Princess Beatrice

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G minor

Princess Beatrice is a traditional nineteenth-century hornpipe set in the key of G minor and composed in a steady 4/4 meter. The tune features a lively yet graceful character with a flowing melodic contour well-suited to traditional instrumental performance styles. Because specific historical associations and composer details are not definitively recorded, its exact origins remain uncertain within the broader tradition of British and Irish dance music.
