John Thomas's Hornpipe

Three-two · 3/2 · D mixolydian

John Thomas's Hornpipe is a traditional tune of uncertain historical origin with no verified composer attribution. Written in three-two meter and the D mixolydian mode, it features the distinctive rhythmic pulse and lively character typical of traditional three-two hornpipes. Because detailed historical associations and specific provenance for the tune are not firmly established, its enduring appeal rests entirely on its engaging melodic and rhythmic profile.
