"The Congress Reel", in Gaelic "An Chomhdháil" is an Irish reel in A Aeolian (Brody) or A Dorian (most versions). The parts are played AABB. It is said that this reel was composed in honor of the World Eucharistic Congress in Dublin, in 1932, or was popular around that time and the name became attached. The melody shares some similarities with "The Hunter's Purse". It was printed in Breathnach's CRÉ I (1963), Breathnach's Folk Music and Dance of Ireland (1971), Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983), Cranitch's Irish Fiddle Book (1996), Cranitch's Irish Session Tunes: Red Book (2000), Harker's 300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty (2005), Mallinson's 100 Essential (1995) and Taylor's Traditional Irish Music: Karen Tweed's Irish Choice (1994). It was recorded by Seamus Creagh on An Fhidil Straith II, The Irish Tradition on The Corner House (1978), Kevin Burke on Open House (1992), Frankie Gavin on Traditional Music of Ireland and Yankee Ingenuity on Heatin' Up the Hall (1989).
