Little Cascade, The

Reel · 4/4 · A mixolydian

The reel known as The Little Cascade was composed by the prominent Scottish piper and composer George S. MacLennan. Written in 4/4 meter and set in A mixolydian, the tune is characterized by a bright, cascading melodic figure that demands considerable technical dexterity and nimble fingerwork from the performer. Because specific historical associations beyond its composition are not definitively established, it remains a celebrated showpiece in the contemporary Scottish traditional repertoire for its virtuosic musical character.
