Liam's Favourite Book

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Liam's Favourite Book is an Irish hornpipe in 4/4 time and the key of D major with no specific composer or historical background reliably documented in standard reference sources. As is characteristic of traditional hornpipes, it features a steady, bouncing rhythm and a lively melodic character well suited for solo or group instrumental performance. Because its exact origin and early history remain uncertain, players focus on its crisp phrasing and rhythmic articulation to bring out the standard expressive qualities of the genre.
