Orkney, The
The 4/4 hornpipe The Orkney is a traditional-style instrumental tune composed in G major by Jimmy Johnstone. Because detailed historical records regarding its specific occasion or early performance history are uncertain, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic drive and characteristic Scottish accordion style. It remains a popular piece in modern traditional repertoires, often performed with the bright articulation and steady bounce typical of contemporary Scottish hornpipes.
