Red Prairie Dawn

Reel · 4/4 · A major

Red Prairie Dawn is a well-known contemporary fiddle tune composed by American fiddler Gary Harrison in the late 20th century, though its widespread popularity in old-time music jams often causes it to be treated as a traditional piece. The tune is typically played as a lively 4/4 reel in the key of A major, featuring a soaring and evocative melody that captures the serene yet spirited imagery of its title. Due to its modern origins, it lacks the deep historical associations of older traditional repertoire, but it has firmly established itself as a modern standard in Midwestern and contest-style fiddling.
