Balmenach, The

Strathspey · 4/4 · F dorian

The strathspey The Balmenach was composed by contemporary Scottish musician and multi-instrumentalist Hamish Napier. Written in F dorian with a standard 4/4 meter typical of the genre, the tune features the driving rhythm and ornate melodic style characteristic of traditional Scottish Highland dance music. Because it is a modern composition by a known living creator, it does not carry historical folklore or older provenance, instead representing a contemporary addition to the traditional fiddle and folk repertoire.
