Mrs. Major L. Stewart Of The Island Of Java
Composed by the celebrated Scottish fiddler William Marshall, Mrs. Major L. Stewart Of The Island Of Java is a traditional strathspey in 4/4 time and A major. The specific historical association connecting the subject to the island of Java remains uncertain, leaving the tune best defined by its characteristically spirited Scottish dance rhythm and melodic elegance. It is typically performed in a lively, dotted strathspey style that highlights Marshall's mastery of eighteenth-century fiddle composition.
