Knotted Cord, The

Reel · 4/4 · A dorian

The Knotted Cord is a traditional Irish reel in 4/4 meter that is typically played in the key of A dorian. Because its exact composer and historical origins are not firmly established, the tune is best known through modern traditional session playing. Musically, it features an energetic and driving character well-suited to the rhythmic phrasing characteristic of standard fiddle and flute performance.
