Jackie Coleman’s Reel – double reel in two parts – 32 bars in all. the tune is in D major.
When it comes to reels, bowing is all-important in bringing the tunes to life. So, bowings are shown below with slurs in the standard notation and, in the abc notation, down bows are in bold, up bows are not in bold.
