Give Her the Rest She’s Earned, hornpipe [comp. Tommy Fitzharris]

This hornpipe was composed during the national lockdown of our country as a result of Covid-19. The tune title came to me as I reflected on the impact this pandemic was having on the music of Ireland and it’s musicians.
The title personifies our unique traditional Irish music as gaining some respite from the global music touring circuit where it has become a vocation for so many.
