Bluestack Highland, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · A dorian

The Bluestack Highland is a traditional strathspey in four-four meter and A dorian mode, though its specific composer and geographic origins remain unrecorded. Played with the characteristic crisp rhythm and driving lift of a Scottish-style strathspey, it features the accented dotted notes and cuts typical of instrumental dance music. Because detailed historical associations for the tune are not established, its performance relies entirely on the idiomatic expression and phrasing of traditional fiddle repertoire.
