Kilmore Fancy

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Kilmore Fancy is a traditional Irish hornpipe in 4/4 time and the key of D major, though its specific geographic origin and composer are not historically recorded. The tune is characterized by a lively and rhythmic swing typical of traditional session playing, featuring bouncy dotted figures well-suited for both dancing and instrumental performance. Because definitive historical associations and early manuscript sources for this piece are lacking, musicians rely on its stylistic conventions to shape its energetic character.
