The Greet manuscripts are a set of 21 tunes found, when working in his loft, by Peter Hill, who was then living at Littleworth, Greet, near Winchcombe. They were entitled “A few favourite airs adapted for the German (ie transverse) flute”. Many are dance tunes.

Although a Hornpipe is now usually a type of tune in 4/4 rhythm, in the baroque period the term was often used for a tune in 6/4 time. This tune is an example.
