When Joy Ran Bounding

Reel · 4/4 · A minor

When Joy Ran Bounding is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time, set in the key of A minor. Because its specific composer and early historical origins remain unrecorded, players focus instead on its lively tempo and rhythmic drive typical of traditional dance music. The tune is commonly performed with a steady, pulsing bow-and-fingering style suited for social dancing and modern sessions alike.
