Pleasant Gardens

Reel · 4/4 · A dorian

Pleasant Gardens is an American old-time fiddle tune whose exact origin and composer are not historically documented. Played as a lively reel in 4/4 meter and A dorian mode, it features an upbeat character typical of Appalachian dance repertoire. Because reliable historical associations for the tune are lacking, musicians focus on its driving rhythm and melodic interplay when performing it today.
