Hunter's Purse, The

Reel · 4/4 · D mixolydian

The Hunter's Purse is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 meter that is typically played in the D mixolydian mode.

Characterized by a lively and rhythmic flow, the tune is well-suited to the spirited articulation favored in traditional fiddle and flute playing.
