Whistlin' October

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Whistlin' October is an instrumental hornpipe in D major, though its specific composer and geographic origin remain undocumented. The tune is typically played in 4/4 meter with the characteristic bouncy, dotted rhythm and driving momentum standard to traditional hornpipes. Because of its obscure history, it lacks any reliable historical associations and is performed purely for its lively musical character.
