Reel · 4/4 · D mixolydian

Caoineadh Ui Neill is a traditional Irish reel, though its exact composer and historical origins remain uncertain due to a lack of definitive documentation. Set in four-four meter and the D mixolydian mode, the tune is typically performed with a steady rhythmic drive suited to traditional instrumental playing. Without established historical associations, the tune is best defined by its distinct melodic contour and modal character within the Irish repertoire.
