Commons Pattern

Slide · 12/8 · E minor

Commons Pattern is a traditional Irish slide composed by accordion player Timmy O'Connor. Set in E minor with a bouncy 12/8 meter, the tune is traditionally played at a lively tempo to accompany regional set dancing. Because specific historical associations and exact dates of composition remain uncertain, players focus on its rhythmic drive and characteristically spirited style.
