Camptown Wraiths
Camptown Wraiths is a traditional reel in four-four time set in the key of D minor, with its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unrecorded. The tune features a driving, rhythmic cadence well-suited for lively contra dancing and traditional fiddle accompaniment. Because reliable historical associations for the piece are not documented, its performance style relies on regional revival traditions rather than specific historical contexts.
