Galtee Hunt, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

The Galtee Hunt is a traditional Irish hornpipe in 4/4 meter that is typically played in the key of G major. Because its specific composer and early historical origins remain unrecorded, it has been passed down primarily through oral tradition and standard instrumental repertoire collections. Musicians characteristically perform it with the lively, dotted rhythm and bouncy phrasing that define traditional dance tunes from the Munster region.
