Straw Man, The

Reel · 4/4 · A major

The tune known as The Straw Man is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time set in the key of A major. Because its specific composer and early historical origins are not documented, musicians typically approach the melody with a lively rhythm and an upbeat character suited for traditional dance settings. It is frequently performed in modern Irish traditional music sessions alongside other dynamic reels in the same key.
