Mons Meg

Strathspey · 4/4 · D dorian

Mons Meg is a traditional Scottish strathspey set in the D dorian mode and 4/4 meter. The tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and driving cadence typical of the strathspey genre, which is designed for energetic Highland dancing. Because its exact composer and early history are not reliably documented, it survives as a staple of the traditional instrumental repertoire.
