Bannow Bay, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Written in 4/4 meter and G major, the tune is a fine example of traditional Irish dance music with a lively and rhythmic character well-suited for stepping. Because the historical record regarding its exact date of composition is sparse, the tune's primary association stems from Murphy's own influential recordings and performances of the mid-twentieth century.
