JOHN EGAN'S (REEL) [1]. Irish, Reel. D Mixolydian/G Major/A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by flute player John Egan (1903-1989), originally from Ballintogher, County Sligo, who removed to Dublin and became one of the founders and regulars at Dublin's Church Street Club. He was highly influential in the music of that city in his lifetime.
The tonality is a bit 'slippery', beginning in A dorian, then appearing to center around 'G', and resolving at the end of the first strain to 'D'.
