Henry Reed's Schottische

Barndance · 4/4 · C major

Henry Reed's Schottische is a traditional American barndance in C major collected from the renowned fiddler Henry Reed of southwestern Virginia. The tune is played in a steady 4/4 meter with an upbeat character and a rhythmic drive well-suited for traditional dancing. Because its exact origins and earlier history remain uncertain, it is best known today through the field recordings made by folklorist Alan Jabbour in the 1960s.
