Salthill, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

The hornpipe The Salthill, The in D major and 4/4 meter was composed by the contemporary Irish fiddler and pianist Charlie Lennon. Because the tune is a modern composition by a known living or recent tradition-bearer, its historical background stems directly from the modern Irish traditional repertoire rather than older anonymous sources. Played in the characteristic dotted rhythm of a traditional hornpipe, it features the lively, driving style associated with modern Irish instrumental dance music.
