Piper's Despair, The
The Piper is Despair, The is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time set in the key of E Dorian. Because the composer and exact origins of the tune are not historically documented, players focus on its lively tempo and intricate melodic phrasing typical of traditional fiddle and flute repertoires. This energetic reel is widely played in Irish traditional music sessions around the world with a driving, ornamented style.
