Lough Key

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Lough Key is a traditional Irish hornpipe composed by the renowned fiddler and accordion player Sean Ryan. Written in the key of G major and set in 4/4 meter, it is typically played with the steady, dotted rhythm and bouncy character distinctive of traditional hornpipes. Because specific historical associations for the tune are not well documented, its enduring popularity relies entirely on its engaging melodic craftsmanship within the Irish session repertoire.
