Lough Isle Castle

Reel · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Lough Isle Castle is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time with no verified composer or specific historical associations on record. Played in A mixolydian, this lively dance tune features the driving rhythm and modal flavor characteristic of traditional session music. Because its precise geographic origin and early history remain uncertain, players focus on its distinctive melodic contours to drive contra dances and instrumental sets.
