Am Buachaille Dubh Fionnghal

Strathspey · 4/4 · B mixolydian

Am Buachaille Dubh Fionnghal is a traditional Scottish strathspey set in 4/4 meter and the B mixolydian mode, though specific historical details about its origin and composer are not definitively established. As a strathspey, it features the characteristic dotted rhythms and snapped notes—known as the scotch snap—that are idiomatic to traditional Highland fiddle and dance music. The tune is played with a lively, driving character and a strong dotted pulse that naturally suits energetic dancing and rhythmic instrumental accompaniment.
