Molly Maguire
Molly Maguire is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time, though its specific geographic origin and exact historical background are not definitively established. The tune is typically played in the A dorian mode with a lively and energetic character that suits rapid session playing on instruments like the fiddle, flute, or accordion. While its exact provenance remains uncertain, the title likely references the nineteenth-century secret society of Irish agrarian activists, connecting the melody to a well-known chapter of Irish social history.
