Paddy From Offaly

Reel · 4/4 · D mixolydian

Paddy From Offaly is a traditional Irish reel composed by the accordion player Paddy O'Brien, who was originally from County Offaly. Set in 4/4 meter and the key of D mixolydian, it features the lively, driving rhythm and ornamented phrasing characteristic of traditional fiddle and button accordion repertoire. The tune is widely played in traditional music sessions today as a vibrant example of mid-twentieth-century Irish compositional style.
