Banais Mairead

Strathspey · 4/4 · A dorian

Banais Mairead is a traditional Scottish strathspey set in the key of A Dorian with a 4/4 meter. Because specific historical details, composers, and early documentation for the tune are not established, its exact origins remain uncertain. Musically, it features the characteristic dotted rhythms and driving tempo typical of the strathspey genre, making it well suited for traditional dancing and fiddle performance.
