Duchess Of Hamilton, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · G major

The Duchess Of Hamilton, The is a strathspey in G major composed by John Bowie in 4/4 meter. As a traditional Scottish dance tune in the strathspey genre, it features the characteristic dotted rhythms and forceful cadence designed for the energetic highland schottische or strathspey step. While specific historical associations for the title are uncertain, the piece remains a notable example of Bowie's contribution to the late-eighteenth-century fiddle repertoire.
