Reel · 4/4 · B minor

The Pining Maid is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time and the key of B minor, though its specific composer and historical origins remain uncertain. It is typically played with a lively and rhythmic drive that characterizes fast instrumental dance music. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscript records for this tune are not well documented, its performance style relies primarily on modern traditional session practices.
