obriens151 The Sailor's Hornpipe: Duet
This ever-popular version of the song is accompanied with a drone. The hornpipe, which ultimately made its way into the classical arena (i.e. Handel's Water Music), was a popular dance in the British Isles from the 16th through the 19th centuries. Frequently danced by sailors with their arms folded, it is almost always spirited and fun. |
