Aberdeen , The
The traditional Scottish reel known as The Aberdeen is set in 4/4 time and the key of D major. Because its specific composer and exact historical origins are not documented, musicians typically perform it with the lively tempo and driving rhythm characteristic of standard fiddle repertoire. Without a specific historical association tied to its past, the tune endures through its vibrant melodic character and widespread popularity in traditional session settings.
