William McGonigal's

Barndance · 4/4 · D major

Composed by the fiddler Danny Meehan, William McGonigal's is a lively barndance set in D major with a standard 4/4 meter. The tune is typically played in a driving, rhythmic style characteristic of traditional Irish dance music to suit energetic footwork. Because detailed historical associations and the exact date of composition are not widely documented, the piece remains best known through contemporary performances and recordings of Irish traditional music.
