The Ninety-Eight March
Transcribed from Randal Bays' recording "The Salmon's Leap." A marching tune from the Irish rising of 1798. Randal paired this with his own composition "The Ninety-Nine March," which I'll post later. They make a nice set.

UnReel
I say it's a 4/4 march, not a reel.

Yes, but we don't have a category for 'March' here, so a submitter chooses their option, I tend to put them under barndance, which is also 4/4, because the tunes were also used for dance, from 2-hand/couple, to larger groupings, including the quadrilles and the grand march or polonaise...

Tunes ~ Search ~ March
Oh yes, the "Why" of it ~ because marches come 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, 9/8 ~
So, no individual category. But, if you go to 'Tunes', and then click on 'Search, and then enter just 'march' in space offered, and unless you feel the need to ~ don't select anything else from the drop down options ~ and you'll get a good example. That's a work in progress...
