Colonel McBain

Reel · 4/4 · E dorian

Colonel McBain is a traditional Scottish reel performed in common time and centered in the E dorian mode. Because the composer and early historical associations are not reliably documented, the tune's background remains uncertain beyond its long-standing presence in traditional fiddle repertoires. Musically, it features the driving rhythm, lively character, and melodic ornamentation typical of classic upbeat reels designed for dancing.
