Sweeney's

Hornpipe · 4/4 · A major

Sweeney's is a traditional Irish hornpipe usually played in the key of A major with a steady 4/4 meter. Because the composer and precise historical origins are not documented, musicians approach the tune as a standard part of the traditional repertoire rather than tying it to a specific historical event. Its lively character and rhythm are well suited to traditional dance accompaniment, typically performed with a driving, dotted rhythm typical of the hornpipe genre.
