Gortnaderry Swing, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The Gortnaderry Swing is a modern hornpipe composed in G major by Pádraig McGovern. Played in 4/4 meter, the tune features an upbeat character and a lively dance rhythm well-suited to traditional Irish instrumental performance. Because it is a contemporary composition rather than an older traditional piece, it does not carry historical folklore or associations from previous centuries.
