Bernie Cunnion's Fling

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Bernie Cunnion's Fling is an Irish traditional hornpipe in four-four time and D major, though its exact composer and historical origins remain uncertain. It features the steady, bouncing rhythm characteristic of traditional hornpipes, making it well-suited for solo fiddle or accordion accompaniment in lively dance settings. Because specific historical associations and composition dates are not reliably documented, players focus on its rhythmic drive and melodic contours in traditional sessions.
