Night Of The Big Wind, The

Reel · 4/4 · E dorian

The Night of the Big Wind is a well-known traditional Irish reel composed by the esteemed flute player and musician Vincent Broderick. Set in the key of E Dorian with a standard 4/4 meter, the tune is characterized by its lively, driving rhythm and intricate melodic phrasing that demands agile fingerwork. While its title commemorates the infamous and devastating Irish storm of January 1839, the tune itself is a modern creation of the mid-twentieth century repertoire.
