Crossroads, The

Reel · 4/4 · E dorian

The Crossroads is an Irish traditional reel in 4/4 meter and the key of E Dorian, though its exact composer and historical origins are not recorded. As a fast-paced instrumental dance tune, it is typically played with a lively, rhythmic drive characteristic of traditional session music. Because specific historical associations and early manuscript sources for this setting are uncertain, musicians focus on its energetic melodic contours and distinctive modal phrasing.
