Mr. Barnard

Reel · 4/4 · F major

Mr. Barnard is an F major reel in 4/4 time composed by the Scottish musician and publisher Nathaniel Gow. The tune is characterized by its lively, driving rhythm and upbeat, danceable character typical of late 18th- and early 19th-century Scottish fiddle music. Because specific historical associations beyond Gow's authorship are not well documented, players focus on a bright, articulated style to highlight its melodic contours.
