Going To The Well For Water

Slide · 12/8 · D major

Going To The Well For Water is a traditional Irish slide set in the key of D major. Because its exact geographic origin and composer are not historically documented, it is preserved primarily through the oral tradition of Irish fiddle and button accordion players. Characterized by its lively 12/8 meter, this rhythmic dance tune is typically played at a brisk tempo with a characteristic bounding lilt suited for set dancing.
