Impish, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · F major

The Impish is a traditional-style hornpipe composed by John Sheahan, the renowned fiddler best known for his work with the Irish folk group The Dubliners. Written in the key of F major with a 4/4 meter, the tune features an upbeat, playful character well suited to the nimble fingerwork characteristic of modern Irish instrumental playing. While specific historical associations or dates of composition remain undocumented, the tune is widely appreciated as a lively addition to the contemporary Irish repertoire.
