Rusty Gulley, The

Three-two · 3/2 · B minor

Written in a lively 3/2 meter, it is characterized by a brisk tempo and an energetic folk dance rhythm that demands a buoyant, articulated playing style. While detailed historical associations are not reliably established for this melody, it is widely preserved in historical manuscript collections of traditional instrumental dance music.
