GLOUNTANE CROSS, THE. Irish, Hornpipe (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "The Gloutane Cross" is a hornpipe composed by accordion player Terry "Cuz" Teahan (1905-1989). It is the name of a village near Castleisland, Sliabh Luachra, County Kerry, and was the birthplace and home of renowned fiddler Pádraig O'Keeffe (1887 – 1963). Teahan himself was also originally from Glountane, although he spent many decades in Chicago, where he worked for the Illinois Central and was a fixture in the Irish music scene in the city.
