Very Man, The

Reel · 4/4 · G major

The reel known as The Very Man is a modern composition in G major written in 4/4 meter by the well-known uilleann piper Kevin Rowsome. Because it is a recent addition to the traditional repertoire rather than an older folk tune with an obscured history, detailed archival background regarding specific historical associations is not established. Instead, the tune is best known through contemporary performances of Irish traditional music that showcase its lively tempo, rhythmic drive, and distinctive melodic character.
