Another tune by Matt Seattle, originally in D minor. In his book "The Four Winds" he says it's a reel, though I don't hear it as such, especially with Nomos' version firmly implanted in my ear.
The third bar of the B-part ought to have a high c natural:
| Bdgb ac'fa | but on the whistle dropping that down to a middle d sounds cleaner.

Nomos
This is the first tune on the last track of "I Won't be Afraid Anymore" by Nomos. They play it like a hornpipe, not a reel.
