Listen to Reavy's Grand Hornpipe

Notes

As excellent as the other tunes are, some feel that Ed's reputation will stand because of the high quality of his hornpipes. If this dance form were more fashionable today among the musicians, Ed would certainly be much more widely acclaimed. No one has written so many exquisite hornpipes, and the Grand Hornpipe surely is a fitting example of Ed's talent for this rhythmical dance form.
