Ocean Child

Reel · 4/4 · E minor

Ocean Child is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time and the key of E minor, with its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unrecorded. The tune features a lively and driving rhythm typical of traditional session music, well-suited for spirited contra and set dancing. Because detailed historical documentation for the piece is scarce, players generally approach it with standard regional ornamentation that highlights its modal character.
