McCarthy's Double

Reel · 4/4 · D major

McCarthy's Double is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time and the key of D major with no verified composer attribution. Played with the bright energy and driving rhythm typical of traditional session music, it features lively phrasing well-suited for both dancing and instrumental performance. Because its specific historical origins and early documentation remain uncertain, musicians continue to preserve and transmit the tune primarily through oral tradition.
