Leinster Buttermilk

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Leinster Buttermilk is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time and G major, though its specific geographic origin and exact composer remain unknown. The tune is characterized by a lively, driving rhythm typical of traditional session music, featuring an energetic character that suits rapid fiddle or flute playing. Because of its uncertain early history, it is best known today as a standard fixture in modern traditional repertoire rather than being tied to any specific historical association.
