Miller's Ditch

Reel · 4/4 · D mixolydian

Miller's Ditch is a traditional reel in 4/4 meter with no verified composer attribution, its precise historical origin and background remaining uncertain. Musically, it is structured in the D mixolydian mode, imparting a distinctively bright and modal character well-suited to standard fiddle and session playing styles. Because detailed historical associations and early publication records for the tune are not reliably established, musicians focus primarily on its lively tempo and rhythmic drive within contemporary traditional repertoires.
