Convent, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The reel known as The Convent is composed in 4/4 meter by Noel Strange and is set in the key of D major. While broader historical associations for the tune are not extensively documented, its lively character is well-suited to standard Irish traditional dance accompaniment. The piece is typically played with the bright articulation and driving rhythm characteristic of traditional fiddle and flute repertoire in D major.
