Stride, The

Reel · 4/4 · A minor

The reel known as The Stride is a tune composed by American-Irish fiddler Winifred Horan, a founding member of the traditional music group Solas. Because specific historical associations and traditional background details for this piece are not widely documented, its identity is defined primarily by its contemporary provenance within the modern Irish traditional repertoire. As a high-energy composition in 4/4 meter and A minor, it is typically performed with the brisk pace and driving rhythmic articulation characteristic of modern instrumental reel playing.
