Matt Heumann's Imperial Hornpipe on Anglo

[Eric Lerner]

Here's an old-fashioned stage hornpipe by Matthew Heumann that I learned from his posting on concertina.net last year (Thanks, Matt!).  Played on my 40-button Crabb G/D Anglo concertina.  Matt's original recording on English concertina, along with music notation, is here -- https://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?/topic/28298-the-imperial-hornpipe/#comment-239426  .  I think Anglo vs. English gives the tune a slightly different feel.

I love it when someone takes one of my tunes and adapts with their own unique style. I always tell players to make it their own, change keys, change tempo, add or subtract notes.....anything that makes it something special you want to play. That's what traditional music is about.

Well done Eric! On Anglo: VERY well done.
