Open Fence, The

Reel · 4/4 · E major

The reel The Open Fence is a contemporary composition in 4/4 meter by Scottish fiddler and composer Ian Hardie, set in the key of E major. Because traditional background details and historical associations for this specific tune are not widely documented, its character is best appreciated through its bright, modern Scottish fiddle aesthetic. The playing style for this piece typically demands nimble fingerwork and a driving bow arm to match the spirited nature of contemporary reel playing.
