First Day Of Spring, The
The reel known as The First Day Of Spring was composed by the renowned Irish fiddler Tommy Peoples. Written in 4/4 meter and set in G dorian, the tune features a lively and intricate melodic character typical of modern traditional fiddling. Because its history and associations beyond the composer's authorship are not extensively documented, musicians approach it with the dynamic ornamentation and rhythmic drive characteristic of contemporary Irish instrumental performance.
