La Tramontana

Reel · 4/4 · E dorian

La Tramontana is a traditional tune whose exact origin and composer are not historically documented. It is structured as a 4/4 reel in the E dorian mode, featuring an upbeat and rhythmic character suited for energetic contra dance or session playing. Because specific historical associations and geographical roots for the tune are not reliably established, musicians typically approach it with the standard, driving articulation characteristic of modern traditional reels.
