Cleaning The Hen House

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Cleaning The Hen House is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time and the key of D major, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain uncertain. Musically, it features the lively, upbeat character and driving rhythm typical of traditional session music, making it well suited for lively dancing. Because of its obscure history, players generally approach it with the standard ornamentation and energetic bow work characteristic of modern traditional fiddle styles.
