Arctic, The
The Arctic is a traditional reel in four-four meter and E dorian mode with an uncertain exact origin and no verified composer attribution. Played with the energetic drive characteristic of traditional fiddle music, it features an uplifting and brisk musical character well-suited for dancing. Because detailed historical associations for the tune are not reliably documented, musicians focus primarily on its lively tempo and melodic phrasing when performing it.
