Reel · 4/4 · D major

Hound's Tune is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time and D major, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown. It is typically played with a lively and energetic character that drives social dancing. Because historical records for the tune are sparse, traditional players focus on its bright melodic contours and rhythmic bounce rather than any specific historical association.
