hornpipe (medicine)


hornpipe


An instrument of music formerly popular in Wales, consisting of a wooden pipe, with holes at intervals. It was so called because the bell at the open end was sometimes made of horn.

A lively tune played on a hornpipe, for dancing; a tune adapted for such playing. "Many a hornpipe he tuned to his Phyllis." (Sir W. Raleigh) A dance performed, usually by one person, to such a tune, and popular among sailors.
