Eileen Curran’s

Reel in A-dorian

When I first learned this tune I learned it as a hornpipe under the name The Sailor’s Return. I still play it with a strong hornpipe lift in both the melody and the accompaniment. Played here in A-dorian with apologies to the fiddlers and whistle players for that high C note in both the A and B parts.

Melody and accompaniment both on bouzouki
