Minutemen, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The tune known as The Minutemen is an Irish reel in four-four time and D major, though its exact composer and traditional background are not definitively established. As is typical for instrumental reels of this genre, it features an upbeat, driving rhythm and a lively character well-suited for fast-paced traditional ensemble playing. Historical records do not link this specific piece to any particular events or early collections, so its musical identity is defined purely by its lively dance structure.
