Mr Standfast
Mr Standfast is a traditional reel in four-four time set in the key of E minor, though its specific geographic origin and exact historical background are not documented. The tune features an energetic and driving character well-suited to fast-paced contra dancing and energetic sessions. It is typically played with a lively, rhythmic bow stroke that emphasizes the energetic momentum inherent in standard traditional reel structures.
