Independence Trail

Slide · 12/8 · G major

Independence Trail is a contemporary 12/8 slide composed in G major by Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser. The tune is driven by the rhythmic, buoyant momentum characteristic of traditional slide playing, making it well-suited for energetic contra dancing. Because it is a modern composition rather than an older folk melody, it does not carry historical associations from earlier centuries, though it has become a popular addition to modern Celtic and North American fiddle repertoires.
