Harvey Beaton

Strathspey · 4/4 · A dorian

Harvey Beaton is a modern strathspey composed by the acclaimed Cape Breton fiddler Dougie MacDonald. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the key of A dorian, the tune features the driving rhythm and characteristic phrasing typical of traditional Scottish and Cape Breton dance music. Because its exact historical associations are not widely documented, the piece is best appreciated through its vibrant melodic contour and suitability for highland dancing.
