Tar The House

Reel · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Tar The House is a contemporary reel composed in 4/4 meter by the Scottish piper and composer Allan MacDonald. Written in the A mixolydian mode, the tune is characterized by its driving rhythm and idiomatically tailored bagpipe phrasing. Because its history is primarily defined by this modern composition rather than older lore, it is best appreciated through the lens of contemporary Scottish traditional performance practice.
