This is a reel I first heard arranged into a piano piece by Percy Grainger, then later in an orchestral version. I believe it to be Irish - it could exist under another name (?)

A major

I think its probably easier (on the fiddle) in A.

Ed Reavy wrote a (much better) three part reel by this name but this isn't it!

Molly on the Shore

Percy Grainger got this tune from Stanford's edition of "The Complete Petrie Collection of Ancient Irish Music", where it is Tune No 902 and described as a Cork reel.
