The Sailor’s Hornpipe, as popularized by the Popeye cartoons, is an anonymous melody found as early as the 1750s in England. This version, presented from founding father Francis Hopkinson’s keyboard manuscript, is one of many variants of this tune, embellished further on the continuo organ! Hopkinson’s manuscript contains many transcriptions and arrangements of Handel and Corelli, various Italian, English, and early American composers, and even some Domenico Scarlatti sonatas. #organ #sailorshor
