Abbots Bromley Horn Dance (for two banjos)

[Joel Hooks]

Happy Solstice/Light Festival!

Every year since moving to New England (with one snowed in exception) my wife and I have gone to see the "Christmas Revels" at the Sanders Theater in Cambridge, MA.

Though the theme changes every year, they still work a few of the same traditions each time.  One of my favorites is a performance of the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance.

And every year I leave thinking to myself that I should work up the tune on banjo.

So today I sat down and arranged it for two banjos.  It lays quite nice in A minor.

I have attached a terrible midi file ("piano" tone) that gives a general idea of the tune.

It is easy to play so give it a try this evening!

Very nice tune, Joel. Fun to play!
