Neil Of The Glenties

Barndance · 4/4 · D major

Neil Of The Glenties is a lively barndance composed by the renowned Irish fiddler and tune writer Ed Reavy. Written in 4/4 time and set in the key of D major, it features an upbeat character that demands a rhythmic, driving playing style typical of traditional Irish dance music. Because specific historical associations for the tune are not well documented, its lasting popularity rests entirely on its engaging melodic architecture and prominent place in the modern session repertoire.
