Mountain Pass, The

Reel · 4/4 · E minor

The Mountain Pass is a traditional Irish reel set in four-four time and played in the key of E minor. Because its specific composer and historical origins are not recorded, it is preserved simply as an anonymous traditional melody within the Irish instrumental repertoire. Characterized by a lively and rhythmic tempo suited for dancing, it is typically performed in a spirited, driving style common to traditional fiddle and flute music.
