Elusive Otter, The

Reel · 4/4 · A major

The Elusive Otter is a modern reel composed in 4/4 meter by Bob Gibbon in A major. Because its history outside of this authorship is uncertain, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic character and idiomatic phrasing suited for contemporary fiddle sessions. It is typically played with a bright, driving style that highlights the lively melodic contours characteristic of modern folk dance repertoire.
