John McGinley's

Reel · 4/4 · A dorian

John McGinley's is a traditional Irish reel composed by the fiddler John Mhósaí McGinley from the Gaoth Dobhair area of County Donegal. The tune is written in 4/4 meter and A dorian mode, driven by the characteristic rhythmic buoyancy and stylistic ornaments of the northern regional fiddling tradition. Because specific historical associations beyond its local provenance are not well documented, its enduring appeal rests on its lively character and popularity in contemporary Irish sessions.
