Ratha Fair
Ratha Fair is a traditional reel in 4/4 time and the D dorian mode with no historically verified composer or exact geographic origin currently established. Because its precise historical background remains uncertain, players focus on its lively tempo, rhythmic drive, and modal character typical of Irish and Celtic dance music. This upbeat tune is commonly performed in sessions with a steady, bouncing bow arm to emphasize its characteristic lift and traditional phrasing.
