Invitation, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

The traditional hornpipe known as The Invitation is set in the key of D major with a standard 4/4 meter. Because its specific composer and historical origins are not reliably documented, musicians treat it as an anonymous piece from the traditional repertoire. It features an upbeat, bouncy rhythm and a lively character well-suited for traditional dance accompaniment and spirited instrumental sessions.
