Staten Island sheet music

Staten Island sheet music appears here under two title forms: Staten Island and Staten Island Hornpipe. The available scores all open in D major; the plain-title version is notated in 4/4, while the hornpipe-titled versions open in 2/2. No composer is credited, so the scores are best used as leads for the tune rather than as proof of authorship or origin.

Compare title forms before choosing

The scores use both “Staten Island” and “Staten Island Hornpipe.” If the title matters for a programme or set, choose the plain-title score or a hornpipe-titled score accordingly. The available information does not confirm whether the titles denote the same tune, close variants, or differently labelled versions.

Use key and meter as quick filters

All listed Staten Island scores open with two sharps, identified as D major. The score titled Staten Island opens in 4/4, while the two titled Staten Island Hornpipe open in 2/2. These details describe the opening of each score, not necessarily every later section.

Check the score for what the details omit

The available details do not identify a composer, arranger or intended instrument. Before relying on a score, check its clef, range, instrumentation and any later changes of key or meter. This is especially important when choosing between the two hornpipe-titled versions.

A practical way to select a version

For a hornpipe-labelled score, compare the two Staten Island Hornpipe scores; for the plain title, use the 4/4 Staten Island score. Because instrumentation is not specified, confirm that the score suits your instrument and setting before committing to it.
