Sweet Molly Malone

Strathspey · 4/4 · E dorian

Sweet Molly Malone is a traditional Scottish strathspey of uncertain origin and historical association, as no verified composer or early historical documentation is known. Set in four-four meter and the E dorian mode, the tune features the characteristic dotted rhythms and driving cadence typical of traditional fiddle music in this genre. It is generally performed with a brisk and spirited tempo suited to highland dancing and traditional instrumental sessions.
