Madam Frederick

Strathspey · 4/4 · A major

Madam Frederick is a traditional Scottish strathspey set in four-four meter and the key of A major, though its specific composer and exact historical origins remain unrecorded. The tune is characterized by the dotted rhythms and brisk, driving cadence typical of the strathspey genre, which is designed to accompany Highland dancing. Because detailed early documentation is lacking, musicians interpret the piece in various contemporary and historical fiddle styles without the constraint of a single definitive provenance.
