One of the tune categories on here is a "three-two". Yes, I did notice that they are in three-two time. But can anyone tell me something more about how they are played? Driving beat? Very fast? Slowly? What kind of emphasis? What??? Bueller?
Play them like a "reel and a half". On average I'd say that for every group of 4 quarter notes you'd be playing them slightly faster than a reel, so that it has more of a marchy feel to it. If you want you can also emphasize the phrasing so that it sounds as though you're alternating between bars of 3/2 and 6/8, like this: ONE-two THREE-four FIVE-six ONE-two-three FOUR-five-six.
When did this cagegory appear? I thought it couldn't be true, since I'm not aware of tunes in 3/2 in the Irish tradition (English, Scots and Welsh yes) - but then I see that strathspey has also appeared....

English Hornpipes are oft in 3/2 - Rusty Galley and Lads of Alnwick are great tunes (play them together).
