Wae's Me For Prince Charlie
Wae's Me For Prince Charlie is a traditional Scottish tune associated with the Jacobite uprisings following the 1745 rebellion. Although classified here as a 4/4 hornpipe, the melody is more commonly known and performed as a slow air expressing lamentation and sorrow. Set in A mixolydian, its poignant character requires a lyrical and expressive playing style that emphasizes emotional delivery over strict dance rhythm.
