Lonely Maid, The

Reel · 4/4 · D mixolydian

The Lonely Maid is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune is typically played in the key of D Mixolydian, giving it a characteristic modal and driving musical quality well-suited for fast-paced dancing. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscripts for the piece are lacking, it is preserved primarily through the oral tradition and modern session playing.
