Purgatory Chasm

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Purgatory Chasm is a traditional American reel in G major with a standard 4/4 meter. The specific origins and composer of the tune are not documented, so it is best known through contemporary fiddle and session repertoires. Played with a lively and driving tempo characteristic of New England-style reels, it features an energetic melodic contour well-suited for contra dancing.
