Francie Byrne's

Reel · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Francie Byrne's is an Irish traditional reel in 4/4 meter with an A Mixolydian key signature, though its exact geographic origin and composer are not historically documented. Played with the energetic, driving rhythm characteristic of traditional fiddle music, it is structured to suit rapid contra dancing and lively session playing. Because specific historical associations for this tune are not well established, its enduring popularity relies entirely on its engaging melodic contour and standard placement in modern Irish repertoire.
