Bonfire Night

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Bonfire Night is a traditional hornpipe in four-four meter and the key of D major whose specific composer and early historical origins remain unrecorded. The tune is characterized by the lively, bouncing rhythm typical of traditional hornpipes, making it well-suited for spirited dancing and instrumental performance. Because detailed historical associations for the piece are not well established, its enduring appeal rests entirely on its vibrant melodic charm and standard folk styling.
