An Old Friend
An Old Friend is an Irish traditional reel in four-four time and the E dorian mode, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune is typically played with a lively, driving rhythm characteristic of traditional session music, making it a popular choice among fiddle and flute players. Because of its obscure history, it has no verified historical associations and is valued purely for its engaging melodic character and enduring place in the modern repertoire.
