A hornpipe is an English dance in triple meter. This familiar hornpipe was written by George Frideric Handel as part of Water Music.
When reading multiple parts, it is not always possible to keep an entire part in one hand. In m. 6, one note in the cello part is out of reach and must be played with the left hand, as shown in the score.
Practice the score in the following ways:
| Each single line, transposing the Bb Trumpet and F Horn to concert pitch. | |
| All Combinations of two parts / two hands. | |
| Combinations of two parts / one hand as follows: | 1) Tpt, Hn (RH) 2) Hn, Vc (RH or LH) 3) Tpt, Vc (RH/split) |
| Combinations of three parts as follows: | 1) Tpt, Hn (RH) + Vc (LH) 2) Tpt, Hn (RH) + Cb (LH) 3) Tpt, Hn (RH) + Vc (RH/split) |
| Four parts: | Tpt, Hn (RH) + Vc (RH/split) + Cb (LH) |
