Fifth Street

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Fifth Street is a traditional instrumental reel set in 4/4 time and the key of G major, though its exact geographical origin and composer are not historically documented. As a lively fiddle tune, it features the upbeat tempo and driving rhythm characteristic of standard Anglo-American dance music. Because specific historical associations for the piece are lacking, it is primarily performed today by old-time and contra dance musicians as part of the living traditional repertoire.
