is not restricted to hornpipes. They may also slur over beats in such a pattern as to create a natural back-beat in reels. Numerous Irish Reels are performed by The Dubliners, one of the pioneers of traditional Irish Music. Slow airs are occasionally played upon the fiddle, but the style is best known for fast, snappy reels and jigs. Strathspeys, popular in Scottish Fiddle are seldom played, as such, but there are some tunes which amply utilized dotted rhythm. Some tunes are: The Wind That Shakes The Barley The Humours Of Lissadell The Maid Behind The Bar Regional styles Examples include the Sliabh Luachra and Donegal fiddle traditions. In Irish fiddling there are few known composers, as many tunes have been taught by ear and passed down from one generation to another. Also, many players adjusted tunes to suit their style and taste, so there can be many variations for a particular tune.
