Mary MacDonald's

Reel · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Mary MacDonald's is a traditional Scottish reel that is typically played with a lively and rhythmic character suited for dancing. Set in 4/4 meter and the A Mixolydian mode, the tune features the characteristic modal flatness and upbeat drive common to Highland fiddle music. Because specific historical documentation and composer details for this melody are not reliably established, it is best known through modern traditional session playing.
