Molly On The Shore

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Molly on the Shore is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time and the key of G major, though its specific place of origin and exact historical background remain uncertain. The tune is characterized by a lively, fast-paced rhythm and a buoyant, energetic character that demands a nimble and articulate playing style. It gained widespread international prominence when the Australian composer Percy Grainger used it as the basis for his popular 1907 string quartet setting.
