J.O. Forbes, Esq. Of Corse

Strathspey · 4/4 · F major

Composed by the Scottish fiddler Peter Milne, J.O. Forbes, Esq. Of Corse is a traditional strathspey set in four-four meter and the key of F major. Because detailed historical associations regarding the dedication are not widely documented, the tune is best defined by its distinctively Scottish compositional style and instrumental context. As a strathspey, it features the characteristic dotted rhythms and snapped figures, known as the scotch snap, that drive its spirited and rhythmic dance character.
