Easter Thursday

Three-two · 3/2 · D minor

Easter Thursday is a traditional English three-two hornpipe recorded in sources such as John Playford's Dancing Master. The tune is written in D minor and features the distinctive 3/2 meter common to seventeenth-century country dance repertoires. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of origin remain uncertain, the melody is best defined by its lively modal character and rhythmic drive.
