Wren, The

March · 4/4 · E minor

The Wren is a traditional 4/4 march in E minor of uncertain origin and history, though it is associated with the old Irish custom of hunting the wren on St. Stephen's Day. Because its precise historical background remains obscure, the tune is best defined by its steady, driving rhythm and spirited character suited for marching. When played on traditional instruments like the fiddle or flute, it features an energetic and lively style that keeps dancers moving in time with the beat.
