Goodnight & Joy Be Wi' Ye A'

Barndance · 4/4 · C major

Goodnight and Joy Be Wi Ye A is a traditional Scottish tune associated with the farewell of the blind eighteenth-century fiddler Neil Gow, though its exact origins remain otherwise uncertain. Set in C major with a 4/4 meter, the melody follows the lively barndance form with a bright and uplifting character well-suited for social dancing. It is typically played with a steady, driving rhythm and an expressive phrasing that balances traditional folk ornamentation with a warm, communal spirit.
