Scottish Horse, The

Jig · 6/8 · A mixolydian

The jig known as The Scottish Horse was composed by Katharine Marjory Stewart-Murray, the Duchess of Atholl, and is written in six-eight meter and A Mixolydian mode. As a traditional-style Scottish tune associated with the Scottish Horse regiment that the composer's husband commanded, it features a lively and spirited character well-suited for energetic dancing or marching. Because specific historical records detailing its exact performance practices are scarce, players typically approach the piece with a rhythmic bounce characteristic of traditional Scottish pipe and fiddle jigs.
