Homer Spit, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

The hornpipe The Homer Spit is a composition in D major written in 4/4 meter by contemporary American Irish-music exponent Randal Bays. As a modern tune in the traditional idiom, it exhibits the lively rhythm, melodic drive, and articulation typical of instrumental fiddle music in this genre. Because it is a recently composed piece rather than an older folk tune, it does not carry historical associations from earlier traditional repertoires.
