Stoney Steps, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The Stoney Steps is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 time and D major, with its specific composer and precise geographic origin remaining unrecorded.

Because the early history of the tune is undocumented, its enduring popularity relies entirely on its circulation within modern traditional performance repertoires.
