Desaunays

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Composed by John Whelan, Desaunays is a lively hornpipe set in the key of D major with a 4/4 meter. The tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and driving momentum typical of traditional Irish and Celtic instrumental dance music. Because specific historical associations and regional origins for the piece are not widely documented, its appeal relies entirely on its engaging contemporary folk composition style.
