Deerfoot

Hornpipe · 4/4 · F major

Deerfoot is a traditional hornpipe typically played in 4/4 meter and set in the key of F major. Because its specific composer and early geographical origins are not historically documented, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic character suited for traditional instrumental performance. Without a reliable historical association to anchor its past, the melody survives purely through the collective efforts of modern tradition-bearers who keep the standard repertoire alive.
