Fergus, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The traditional reel known as The Fergus is composed in 4/4 meter and the key of D major by John Joe Casey. Because specific historical associations and regional origins for the tune are not well documented, its background remains otherwise uncertain. Musically, the piece features the upbeat, driving rhythm and spirited character typical of a standard Irish reel played on traditional instruments.
