Rooney's Favourite
Rooney's Favourite is a traditional-style 6/8 jig composed by the fiddle player Paddy Hayes from County Clare. The tune is set in the D dorian mode and is typically played with a lively, rhythmic character well-suited for traditional Irish sessions. Because its history outside of Hayes's composition is relatively undocumented, specific historical associations are uncertain, allowing the tune's engaging melodic contours to speak for themselves.
