The Friel Deal

I heard this reel recently on Altan’s album The Widening Gyre. It’s the last reel of the opening set. What caught my attention was the unusual harmonic twist at the end of the B part. When I decided to learn the reel, I couldn’t find it anywhere, so I decided to bite the bullet, learn ABC notation, and voilà, here’s my first contribution to this great site. I hope you enjoy this reel as much as I do. (The reel should be in cut time, ie 2/2 not 4/4 but the posting algorithm doesn’t allow it so…)
