Departure, The
The traditional-style reel The Departure was composed in the key of E minor by Mark Evans. Written in 4/4 meter, the tune features an upbeat character that is well-suited for lively contra dance and folk settings. Because specific historical associations and regional roots for the piece are not well established in the broader folk canon, its appeal rests entirely on its energetic melodic structure and modern composition.
