Cuil Aodha, The

Slide · 12/8 · D major

The tune known as The Cuil Aodha is a traditional Irish slide in twelve-eight meter, originating from the Muskerry Gaeltacht region of County Cork. Because its specific composer and exact date of creation are not historically recorded, it is passed down through generations as part of the oral tradition. Played in the lively, bouncing style characteristic of West Cork slides, it features a bright D major tonality that drives traditional social dancing.
