Goldfinch, The

Reel · 4/4 · A major

The Goldfinch, The is a traditional A major reel in 4/4 meter with an uncertain historical origin and no verified composer attribution. Because its specific historical background is not established, the tune is best defined by its lively tempo and rhythmic drive typical of standard Irish and Scottish dance music. Played with a bright, flowing character, it is well suited for accompanying fast-paced social dancing and features standard fiddle ornamentations common to the genre.
