Silver Tip, The
The Silver Tip is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time, though its exact composer and geographic origin remain unrecorded. Played in the D mixolydian mode, it is characterized by an energetic tempo and a lively melodic contour well suited for traditional dance accompaniment. Because specific historical associations for the tune are not well documented, its modern performance style relies on standard stylistic conventions of traditional Irish instrumental playing.
