The Trumpet hornpipe is recognised by many as the signature tune to ‘Captain Pugwash’ a well-loved TV animated series. It is understood that the tune, under various other names such as Lascelles hornpipe or Balloon hornpipe, dates from the early 19th century but was not written down until around the 1820’s or 30’s and attributed to a number of composers such as Joseph Kershaw, George Spencer and even Purcell! There are others who claim the tune to be an early Irish melody. Whilst the triple tonguing of the melody may look at first a little daunting, it is mercifully achievable by most cornet players, and should be played in a Scottish or Northumbrian lilting style as befits its possible origins.
