McLaughlin's

Strathspey · 4/4 · C major

McLaughlin's is a traditional-style strathspey in 4/4 meter and C major composed by the acclaimed Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser. The tune is characterized by the punchy, dotted rhythms and brisk tempo typical of traditional Scottish dance music, requiring a driving bow arm and precise articulation to capture its spirited highland character. Because the tune was newly composed in the contemporary tradition by a living master, it has no older historical associations and is primarily valued as a modern addition to the Scottish fiddle repertoire.
