Molly On The Shore

Reel · 4/4 · A dorian

Molly on the Shore is an Irish reel written in four-four meter and traditionally played in the key of A dorian. The tune is characterized by a lively, energetic tempo and a bright, uplifting melodic contour that demands nimble fingerwork from performers. While its exact historical origins and early composer remain uncertain, the piece gained widespread recognition through Percy Grainger's famous 1907 concert setting for string quartet.
