O'Donovan's

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

O Donovans is a traditional Irish hornpipe in 4/4 time and the key of D major with no verified composer attribution on record. Because its exact historical origins and early documentation remain uncertain, musicians focus on its lively tempo, characteristic dotted rhythms, and upbeat melodic contour. This vibrant dance tune is typically performed in a rhythmic, bouncy style suited for solo instrumentalists and traditional session players alike.
