Distance
Distance is a traditional reel in four-four time set in the A Dorian mode, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune is characterized by an upbeat, driving rhythm typical of dance music, making it well-suited for energetic contra dance and session playing. Because its historical background is undocumented, performers focus on its lively tempo and intricate modal phrasing to deliver a compelling rendition.
