Playing The Gloucester Hornpipe- on Recorder in Gloucestershire!

I went on holiday to the Cotswolds. Because I'm a bit of a nerd, I like to find pieces of music that match the places I visit- and this time I came across 'The Gloucester Hornpipe'. I really liked the simple tune, so had some fun putting together a short music video.
At the end of the video I've put up the sheet music, if you'd like to screen shot and give it a go, then please feel free :)
The recorder is a Mollenhauer Denner soprano in pear wood.

Thank you for making this beautiful music. It makes my heart warm ❤

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thanks for the lovely comment, made my day 😊

Beautiful! Bravo! It was nice of the little bird to sing A solo at the end.

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thank you! He was a very well- timed bird 🙂

[@deborahbirk4894]

Wow I am really impressed. Didn't you say you started the recorder about a year ago? And here you are playing recorder, guitar, Glockenspiel and piano. If that's was not difficult enough you even brought all of the instruments together in such a joyful version of the tune :)

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thank you! I started recorder about a year and a half ago now… and have been piling on other instruments ever since 😅 It’s great fun. Thanks so much for watching!

Agree with L K's comment. Spectacular recorder music video. Spectacular is a large word yet the simple charm of a stone wall and street corner @2:39-2:41 along with the historic masonry and shingles are too cool. Starlings, autumn flocking. White Terrier along the river @3:44-3:47 just fab.

Superb! Great musical way to give Gloucestershire's gorgeous scenery a plug. It's very Mike Oldfield; I'd love to hear you doing a duet with Leslie Penning, the chap who played recorder on several Mike Oldfield singles, and on "Ommadawn". I shall learn this tune on my own recorders. Your sense of humour on a number of your videos gets you my subscription 😊

What a great idea. I guess that the hornpipe has some naval connotations but it’s also a great dance rhythm for us landed people.

[@gaynorandrews1684]

[@barnyification]

That's lovely.🤟😎

Hey what a great tune. Great job on production. You are becoming quite the one man band. Cheered me up and went very nicely along with my glass of red wine, :-) . Thanks !

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thanks! I’ll be strapping a cymbal to my head or something before long. Glad you enjoyed your wine, cheers! 🍷

Great tune and well played. I found the score on 'The Session', a particularly good resource.

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thanks! I love digging around on The Session. I’ve found more things I want to play than I’ll ever get through, though!

Another lovely video. Your talents keep expanding, and your musical explorations are inspired. The scenery was also lovely. Thanks!

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thank you, really enjoyed making the whole thing. Cotswolds scenery does help!

[@gaynorandrews1684]

Looked incredibly cold. Another gorgeous spot. Your playing is lovely. You are getting really good at these compilations now. Well done. Your playing sounds great again.

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thank you! It was lovely and sunny but freeeeezing… ⛄️

[@bcoffee161]

Really nice tune and you played it great. The arrangement was super.

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

😊 thanks very much!

Hornpipes aren't about the sea at all. A hornpipe is a dance with a specfic step. There are thousands of them and here in NE England we tend to play them with a dotted rhythm- as do the Irish. It's still a pretty tune

[@seanfinlay6822]

Yes, we use hornpipes often in Irish Set Dancing.

[@universe7761]

Nice video

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thanks 😊

[@luckybarrel7829]

Nice tune. Guess you took advantage of the brief sunny spell before it was back to chilly weather again + snow wtf???

[@ClaythorpeMusic]

Thanks! Couldn’t have timed the weather better, all that sun. I got caught out in a brief blizzard today, ha ❄️ ☃️
