Lurgan, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The Lurgan is a traditional Irish hornpipe usually played in 4/4 time and the key of G major. Because its specific composer and historical origins are not recorded, performers approach the tune with a lively, rhythmic bounce characteristic of traditional session playing. The melody features typical hornpipe phrasing that invites ornamented variations while maintaining a steady, danceable tempo.
