Lady Down

Reel · 4/4 · C major

Lady Down is a traditional reel in 4/4 meter and C major, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune is characterized by a lively, driving rhythm typical of dance music, making it well-suited for energetic contra and Irish set dancing. Because detailed historical records and early associations for this specific setting are lacking, musicians typically approach it with the standard articulation and rhythmic bounce common to traditional fiddle playing.
