Captain Campbell

Strathspey · 4/4 · A minor

Captain Campbell is a traditional Scottish strathspey in four-four time and A minor, though its specific composer and exact historical origins remain uncertain. Characterized by its driving dotted rhythms and characteristic Scotch snaps, the tune demands a brisk, bouncing bow arm and precise articulation suited for highland dancing. While lacking a verified specific historical association, it has long remained a staple of the traditional fiddle repertoire in Scotland and beyond.
