Golden Eagle Hornpipe

This is a hornpipe played in the Irish tradition. Stylistically, it's similar to late-1800's popular dance music (with a bit of a ballroom feel in my opinion) so I have no idea if it was actually composed by an Irishman or just enthusiastically adopted. In any case, it's a notey little beast. I'm mixing a couple of standard settings and adding a couple of variations.

This is the 34th hornpipe I've posted as part of my nearly-weekly home recording project. Thanks for listening.

Thanks, glad you're both enjoying it!

Great rendition! A lot of folks play it too fast and they lose the bounce of the dance rhythm. You've got it.

Great job! I've been meaning to learn this on for a long time -- this puts me over the top! Love your hornpipe project -- a most worthwhile effort IMO!! (<:
