Final Cut, The

Reel · 4/4 · E minor

The traditional Irish reel The Final Cut is played in 4/4 meter and set in the key of E minor, though its specific composer and historical origins are not recorded.

This energetic character makes it a popular choice in modern Irish traditional music sessions despite the anonymity of its creation.
