Thread Name: 3:2 Hornpipes
Subject: RE: 3:2 Hornpipes
I guess 'Hornpipe' has become the label for those classic Soldiers Joy / Captain Pugwash tunes. Did the label for the 3/2 and other dance tunes Hornpipe simply imply a tune played on a horn or perhaps a pipe rather than a particular rhythm of dance?
