About This Song
About "New Hampshire Hornpipe (from "On Golden Pond")" by James Galway
A hornpipe from 'On Golden Pond' becomes a nimble flute reel, all rippling arpeggios and rustic charm. Galway plays it with a twinkle, but the underlying melancholy of the film—nostalgia for a vanishing summer—lingers in the minor turns, making the dance feel like a memory being relived rather than a moment being lived.
