Colonel Irwin

Reel · 4/4 · E minor

Colonel Irwin is a traditional Irish reel in four-four meter and E minor, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown due to a lack of early historical documentation. The tune is characterized by its driving rhythm and modal flavor, requiring a lively and articulated playing style typical of traditional session music. It has been preserved and popularized through modern recordings and traditional fiddle repertoires rather than specific, well-documented historical associations.
