Coalminer's, The

Reel · 4/4 · G major

The traditional reel known as The Coalminer's is set in 4/4 time and the key of G major, though its specific composer and geographic origin remain unrecorded. It is performed in a lively and driving style characteristic of upbeat instrumental dance music. Because detailed historical associations and early documentation are lacking, the tune is best defined by its energetic melodic contour and standard session repertoire usage.
