Stackallen, The

Reel · 4/4 · E minor

The Stackallen is a traditional Irish reel in four-four meter and the key of E minor, with its exact composer and early origins remaining unrecorded by history. Like many traditional session tunes, it is typically played with a lively, driving rhythm and a steady tempo suited for energetic dancing. Because specific historical associations for the tune are not well established, its character is best appreciated through its survival and continued performance in traditional repertoire.
