Mari Lwyd

Reel · 4/4 · E minor

Mari Lwyd is a traditional Welsh tune associated with the folk custom of the same name, where participants carry a decorated horse's skull from door to door during winter festivities. Because its specific historical origin and composer remain unknown, the tune is best defined by its lively folk character and association with seasonal Wassailing traditions. Set in four-four meter and the key of E minor, it typically functions as a spirited reel within festive repertoire.
