Denis Murphy's

Slide · 12/8 · A dorian

Denis Murphy's is a well-known traditional Irish slide in 12/8 meter and A dorian mode, popularized by the legendary County Kerry fiddle player whose name it bears. Characterized by its lively, bouncing rhythm and driving character, it is typically played at a brisk tempo suited for the regional set dancing of Sliabh Luachra. Though its exact early origins remain uncertain, the tune has become a fundamental staple of the modern Irish traditional session repertoire worldwide.
