Tom Mulligan's

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Tom Mulligan's is a traditional Irish hornpipe composed by the uilleann piper Néilidh Mulligan and named in honor of his father. Set in 4/4 time and the key of D major, the tune is typically played with the lively, dotted rhythm and driving character characteristic of traditional instrumental dance music. Because specific historical associations beyond the composer's family are not widely documented, its enduring appeal rests entirely on its engaging melodic craftsmanship within the modern repertoire.
