Reaper, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Reaper is a traditional-style jig in 6/8 meter and D major composed by the well-known Irish fiddler Connie O'Connell. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition are not widely documented for this tune, its background remains rooted in contemporary traditional playing rather than older historical events. Musically, it is characterized by the lively, rhythmic bounce typical of West Cork fiddle music, making it well-suited for spirited ensemble or solo performance.
