Alister McAlister

Strathspey · 4/4 · G minor

Alister McAlister is a traditional Scottish strathspey set in four-four time and composed in the key of G minor. Because its precise composer and early historical origins are not reliably documented, it is best known through traditional performance practice. The tune features the characteristically dotted rhythms and driving cadence typical of the strathspey genre, making it well-suited for traditional Scottish step dancing.
