Minister's Daughter, The

Reel · 4/4 · A major

The Minister's Daughter is a traditional Scottish reel in 4/4 time and A major, though its exact origins and composer are not historically documented. As a lively and energetic dance tune, it is typically played at a brisk tempo with the characteristic driving rhythm and articulated bowing common to fiddle traditions. Because detailed early historical associations for the piece are uncertain, players focus on its bright melodic character and traditional ornamentation to drive energetic contra dances and sessions.
