Piper's Couch, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The Piper's Couch is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time and D major, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown. Set in a bright and lively character, it is typically performed with a steady, driving rhythm well-suited for dancing and traditional session playing. Like many tunes in the standard Irish repertoire, it lacks a documented historical association and is preserved primarily through oral transmission and contemporary recordings.
