Dr. Gilbert's

Reel · 4/4 · E minor

Dr. Gilbert's is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time and the key of E minor, though its specific geographical origin and exact historical background are not definitively established. The tune features a lively and driving rhythmic character that is well-suited to standard Irish traditional session playing on instruments like the fiddle, flute, and accordion. Because reliable historical associations and composer attributions are lacking, musicians approach the melody through standard traditional styling and regional ornamentation practices.
