Clare, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The Clare is a traditional Irish reel in four-four meter and D major whose exact composer and historical origins remain unrecorded. It is typically played with a lively and rhythmic character that suits traditional fiddle and flute accompaniment. Because detailed historical associations for the tune are not firmly established, performers focus on its bright melodic contours and driving tempo within session settings.
