Riddrie

Strathspey · 4/4 · A major

Riddrie is a traditional Scottish strathspey set in four-four meter and A major, though its specific composer and exact historical origins remain unrecorded. It is characterized by the dotted rhythms and brisk, lively tempo typical of the strathspey genre, which is traditionally designed for energetic social dancing. Because reliable historical associations for the tune are not established, musicians focus on its classic melodic structure and rhythmic drive when performing it today.
