Paddy Ryan's Dream

Reel · 4/4 · A minor

Paddy Ryan's Dream is a traditional Irish reel in four-four meter and A minor, though its specific geographical origin and exact historical background are not documented. As is characteristic of many traditional session tunes in minor keys, it is typically played with a brisk, driving rhythm and a lively, fluid style that suits fast-paced group or solo performances. Reliable historical associations and early manuscript or recording dates for this particular piece are not well established in standard reference sources.
