Clare , The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The Clare is a traditional Irish reel in four-four meter and D major whose exact composer and precise historical origin remain unrecorded. Played with the energetic lift and driving rhythm characteristic of traditional fiddle music, it is structured to suit rapid, ornamented execution. Because early written records are scarce, the tune is best known through contemporary sessions and regional performance practice across Ireland.
