I like the traditional irish music, especially the instrumental one. The tunes with chords of some my favourite instrumental pieces are listed below:

Reels:
Reel music is transcribed in 4/4 or 2/4 time signature. Most reels have two parts (A and B) each of which is repeated (AABB). Each part has eight bars, which again are divided into four and then into two. These are called phrases. The structure obeys to a scheme of question-answer where A is the "question" and B is the "answer" to A. The group of thirty-two bars (four times eight) is itself repeated three or four times before a second reel is introduced. The grouping of two tunes or more in this manner is typical for irish instrumental music.

Drowsy Maggie	The Dunmore Lasses	Farewell to Erin
The Golden Stud	The Gravel walk	The Humours of Carrigaholt
The Humours of Tulla	Jackie Coleman's Reel	The Man of the House
The Old Copperplate	The Peeler's Jacket	The Pingeon on the Gate
The Piper's Despair	Rambling cat	Susan Cooper
Toss the Feathers

Jigs:
Reel music is transcribed in in 6/8, but sometimes also in 12/8 time signature. The most common structure is two eight-bar parts, each of which is repeated (AABB). Similarly to reels, it is common for two or more jigs to be strung together, flowing on without interruption. Jigs are usually a little slower than reels.

Hornpipes:

The hornpipes are played in the same rhytm as reels, i.e. 4/4 time signature. However, they are more slower.

Polkas:

Polka is in the 2/4 rhytm. Polkas in Ireland are very similar to that ones in Czech Republic and they were very probably imported just from Czech lands.

Airs:

Air is a very slowly played music, often instrumentally modified melody of some song.
