Maid Of The House, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The Maid Of The House is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time and D major, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown. It features a lively and rhythmic character well-suited for traditional dance accompaniment, typically played with a bright and driving articulation typical of the fiddle tradition. Because detailed historical associations and early manuscript sources for this specific tune are sparse, its musical life has been largely sustained through modern session playing and regional transmission.
