Jimmy Duffy's Highland

Strathspey · 4/4 · D major

Jimmy Duffy's Highland is a traditional strathspey in four-four meter and D major, with its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unrecorded. The tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and snapped figures typical of Scottish and Irish strathspeys, designed for an energetic and driving performance style. Because detailed historical associations for the piece are not well established, musicians focus on its lively tempo and traditional ornamentation when playing it.
