Snowflake, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · A major

The Snowflake is a traditional hornpipe in four-four meter and A major, though its specific geographical origin and composer are not historically documented. It features the steady rhythm and melodic ornamentation characteristic of traditional Irish and Scottish dance music, often played with a lively and articulate style suited for step dancing. Because early printed sources are lacking, the tune is best known through modern traditional music sessions and fiddle repertoires rather than a specific historical association.
