Mayo Fling, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

The Mayo Fling is a traditional hornpipe composed by Laoise Kelly. Set in 4/4 meter and the key of D major, the tune is played with a lively and rhythmic character suited to traditional Irish dance accompaniment. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition remain largely undocumented, the tune is primarily appreciated through modern performances of its upbeat melodic lines.
