Kilkenny Races

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Kilkenny Races is a traditional Irish hornpipe usually played in 4/4 meter within the key of G major. Because its specific composer and exact historical origins are not reliably documented, musicians treat it as part of the standard traditional Irish repertoire. This lively tune is typically performed with the bouncy, dotted rhythm characteristic of traditional dance hornpipes.
