Why Fight It?

Reel · 4/4 · D mixolydian

Why Fight It? is a traditional reel in 4/4 time with no verified composer or specific historical associations currently established in the available record. The tune is set in the D mixolydian mode, giving it a characteristic modal sound well-suited for fast-paced, rhythmic Irish or Scottish traditional dance accompaniment. Because its exact geographic origin and early history remain uncertain, players typically approach the tune with a driving, energetic style common to modern session playing.
