Pretty Marion

Strathspey · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Pretty Marion is a traditional Scottish strathspey in four-four time, though its specific composer and historical origins are not documented. The tune is written in the A mixolydian mode, giving it a distinctive modal flavor typical of highland dance music. It is performed in the driving, rhythmic style characteristic of traditional fiddle music, well suited for accompanying energetic Scottish step dancing.
