Batchelder's

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Batchelder's is a traditional fiddle reel in four-four time and the key of D major with no verified composer attribution. Played with the brisk tempo and driving rhythm characteristic of New England dance music, it features the lively character typical of traditional American reels. Because specific historical associations and exact origins for the tune are not well documented, it is primarily valued today as a standard fixture of the traditional fiddle repertoire.
