Fir Tree, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · D major

The Fir Tree is a traditional Scottish strathspey in four-four meter and the key of D major. Because its specific composer and historical origins are not documented, it remains known purely through oral and manuscript tradition as an instrumental dance piece. Musically, it features the characteristic dotted rhythms and driving cadence typical of the strathspey genre, lending itself to an energetic and rhythmic fiddling style.
