Islay Rant

Reel · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Islay Rant is a modern Scottish reel composed by renowned fiddle player Charlie McKerron of the band Capercaillie. Written in 4/4 meter and set in A mixolydian, the tune features the driving rhythm, bright character, and ornamented phrasing characteristic of contemporary Celtic dance music. While it lacks specific historical associations from older tradition, it has become widely embraced and recorded within the modern traditional folk repertoire.
