Hard Is My Fate

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Hard Is My Fate is an instrumental reel set in four-four meter and the key of G major, though its precise historical origin and traditional background remain unrecorded. Played with the lively, rhythmic drive characteristic of Irish and Scottish dance music, this lively tune features an upbeat tempo well suited for foot-tapping accompaniment. Because no definitive composer or historical association is established for the piece, musicians treat it as part of the traditional repertoire passed down through ear and session playing.
