Jackson's Return

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Jackson's Return is a traditional hornpipe in 4/4 meter and D major key, though its exact geographic origin and specific historical background remain uncertain. The tune is characterized by the lively, steady rhythm and bouncing phrasing typical of traditional hornpipes played on Irish and Scottish instruments. Because no composer is reliably attributed to the piece, it survives as a standard part of the traditional repertoire passed down through generations of session musicians.
