Happenchance, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Composed by Enda Scahill, The Happenchance is a modern hornpipe set in the key of D major with a 4/4 meter. Because it is a contemporary composition rather than an older folk tune, it lacks a traditional historical background or associated folklore. The tune is typically played with the steady, bouncing rhythm and lively character that define contemporary Irish hornpipes.
