Bittern, The
The Bittern is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. It is set in the key of E dorian and is typically played with a lively, rhythmic drive characteristic of traditional dance music. Because of its unrecorded history, musicians rely on its engaging melodic contours rather than historical associations to bring the tune to life.
