Oak House, The

Reel · 4/4 · E minor

The reel known as The Oak House is a traditional tune in four-four meter and E minor, with its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unrecorded. Played with the steady, driving pulse characteristic of traditional fiddle music, it features a lively character suited for energetic contra and set dancing. Because early printed sources are lacking, the tune is primarily preserved and performed within contemporary Irish and Celtic traditional music circles.
